Entry to Practice: Outside of Ontario/Canada

Graduates of Western's undergraduate nursing programs wishing to practice outside of Ontario or Canada must contact the nursing regulatory body in the province/country they wish to work and begin the process for an Assessment of Credentials. The regulatory body will provide forms that must be completed by a representative of Western's Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing. Forms can be emailed to Denice Litzan, dlitzan@uwo.ca.

A representative from the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing will complete the forms and send them directly, by courier, to the appropriate nursing regulatory body.

Please Note:

Completion of the forms can take up to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the application and the time of year.

Completion of these documents does not guarantee approval from the regulatory body. Approval is dependent on the outcome of the assessment.

Fees:

The fee for completing the Assessment of Credentials is $300.00. Email dlitzan@uwo.ca for payment details.

When the package has been completed and sent to the appropriate regulatory body, a confirmation message will be sent to the requestor from the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing.
