Supporting Your Nursing Journey in Nova Scotia & New Brunswick 

Need Help Covering Costs? We’ve Got You 

We understand that the path to becoming a licensed nurse in Canada, especially as an internationally educated professional, can be financially challenging. From assessment fees and exam costs to relocation and bridging programs, the expenses add up. 

To help ease this burden, we offer financial support for eligible African Caribbean nurses pursuing licensure and practice in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick who demonstrate financial need to support their licensure process. As part of the application process, you will be asked to submit a resume, a brief personal statement, and any proof of enrollment or licensure process. You must also be pursuing or considering nursing licensure in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick or overseas but advanced in the immigration process to Nova Scotia or New Brunswick 

What Our Financial Assistance Cover

• NNAS application and credential assessment fees 

• NCLEX-RN or CPNRE exam preparation courses 

• Language proficiency testing (IELTS/CELBAN) 

• Bridging program tuition or clinical placement fees 

You might be considered for our financial assistance program on completion of the mentee application form (except you choose to be exempted).
