There’s no where a Practical nurse is higher than a Registered nurse. The entry requirement to practice as an RN in Canada is a bachelor’s degree doesn’t mean diploma RN are less than RPNs in Canada. For context, same Canada lets diploma nurses from the US practice as RNs in most provinces besides Ontario. Diploma trained nurses in Canada who were RNs before they made the shift to a bachelor’s degree all still work as RNs. My friend who’s a US trained Diploma RN works as an RN in BC with no additional schooling. In fact, a lot of Canadian healthcare systems come to the US to recruit and I have attended a few of their events. So no, RPNs in Canada aren’t more knowledgeable than Nigerian RN. That notion is laughable at best. Ask your sister to take a look at her nursing school curriculum and go look at a Practical Nursing program curriculum.


Additionally, most provinces will take her in if she has a US license. Maybe she should consider writing Nclex and obtaining a US license. Getting a Canadian license afterwards would be way easier and more of an administrative process.

The point of all of this is that going for RPN after being an RN doesn’t show career progression. It shows desperation and a desire to live/work in Canada.

Is there a reason she’s not doing an Acelerated bachelor of science in Nursing program? It will cost almost the same amount and take almost the same time.

Please can someone shed more light on this, if one is getting a monthly allowance from there spouse and has saved up enough to pay for there Canadian fees and also the allowance will continue even while she’s in Canada.
She also works but her salary is not essentially where her bulk of funds is from. And she earns yearly from her rental property.
Is there any need to add her spouse as sponsor or add any of his details like payment slip or employment letter since she’s paying her fees and all by her self.

She also intends on using her sister in the Uk as her sponsor although she’s using that to strengthen her application.
She got into the LPN program for internationally trained nurses since she’s a Nigerian nurse with diploma looking to broaden her existing knowledge.

Also I’m aware that applications from colleges are being denied a lot at the moment.
What’s the viability of her application being successful?

Also she has ties as she’s not going with her kids and husband.
