Renewing Your Licence

For detailed information on each province and their regulatory (licensing) bodies, please see the listing of provincial associations for RNs and LPNs. Simply visit the provincial association’s website for licensing requirements. Pay particular attention to the deadlines as they vary by province.


Don’t miss your provincial deadline to renew your nursing permit!  To check out when your renewal is due, see the Canadian Nursing Renewal dates below.


We can also help you to manage the process. We do it everyday for many nurses from all across Canada. So, don’t stress; it’s really easier than you would think. If you have any questions, just give us a call at 877-525-3870

Practicing vs. Non-Practicing

Be wary if you choose to renew as non-practicing.  If you renew as non-practicing then decide to change to practicing later in the year, you may have to pay an admin fee twice or need to resubmit all documentation.  We strongly suggest practicing if you are thinking of taking on nursing contracts within the next year.


We do our best to keep the information below as up-to-date as possible. However, you should always consult your provinces’ nursing association website for renewal date confirmation.
