National Nursing Assessment Service [NNAS]

The National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS) assists Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) in obtaining nurse registration in Canada. NNAS assesses your educational qualifications and submits a report to the nursing regulatory agencies.

The major goal of NNAS is to assess your academic credentials earned outside of Canada and compare them to Canada’s current nursing criteria. Internationally educated nurses can register as nurses in Canada by submitting their documentation to NNAS.

Translations can be done in three ways:

1. By an approved source agency ( licensing authority)
2. By a certified translator
3. By NNAS 

NNAS must receive all certified translations immediately from the translator. NNAS will double-check that all of the names on your identity documents are correct. If they don’t, you’ll have to give further documentation to explain why.
