Getting Started

Important notice about using third parties in your application

You must complete and submit the application to CNO yourself. CNO is available to help you throughout the application process. If you choose to get help from a third party, such as an immigration consultant, NCLEX preparation service, online Group, friends or other advisors when preparing your application to become a nurse in Ontario, you should never share your login details, allow someone else to sign into your account, or let anyone submit or verify information on your behalf. Doing so may affect your eligibility for registration. Learn more.

Know which documents you will need to support your application when you begin.

To start the application process, you will need to have your education credential documents validated. Some documents involve you making a request to a third party. Make sure you plan for these documents to prevent any delays at the end of the application process.
