NNAS’s Expedited Service is a simple, fast and safe way to review the credentials of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) applying to work in Canada. You can start the credentialing process to become a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at the same time, for a single price. You can also request that your Advisory Report be sent to multiple regulatory bodies at no additional cost.
NNAS Advisory Reports are released within five business days of all documents being received. Your nursing education is assessed at the country level, which saves you time and money because you do not have to arrange for your curriculum to be sent to NNAS.
