NNAS is the single point of entry for all Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) interested in practicing in Canada. We are your first stop in the application process, responsible for collecting and processing all documents required for you to become licensed. NNAS reports continue to be accepted by all provincial regulators who are members of NNAS. In 2022 alone, NNAS issued almost 12,000 Advisory Reports, most within eight weeks of NNAS receiving all documentation. We recognize the valuable education and skills IENs bring and are here to support you in your journey to be licensed in Canada.
