Your submitted credential report must include a review of all your completed nursing credentials. This includes your initial nursing education credential, as well as any subsequent nursing degrees and diplomas.
You may already have completed a credential review as part of your Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) application. To register in British Columbia, The Yukon, or Nunavut and Northwest Territories, you will need to submit a more detailed report.
To apply for an upgraded report, visit one of the approved agency websites listed in the table below. Make sure you:
- Select Inspire Global Assessments as the assessment report recipient
- Request a comprehensive report (this report may have a different name, depending on the agency; see table below)
If you have already completed a credential assessment with one of our authorized agencies, you can request an upgraded report from them.
There will be a fee associated with upgrading your report. If you are seeking registration in British Columbia, check to see if you are eligible for financial support by emailing info@nursingjobsbc.ca.
Once the upgraded educational credential assessment (ECA) report is complete, the credential agency will send your report directly to us. We can only accept reports that are sent directly to us from the credential agency.
