Answer: Depending on where in Canada you would like to get a job as a nurse because each province has a College of Nurses. You would have to contact them and find out all the requirements to become licensed in that province. In Ontario you can contact the College of Nurses on their web site as follows- www.cno.org. I know this because I am a nurse in Ontario. I noticed at the end of your question you stated "job in USA". I know each that they have a similar system to ours in regards to licensing. You'd have to contact that states specific "college" as well. I hope this can help you somewhat to get you started towards your goal. Good luck!!!
