Program overview
A four year nursing degree with extensive clinical placements, covering anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, health assessment, nursing theory and supervised practice across care settings.
Bachelor of Nursing asks 90 percent, among the highest bars at this university, and clinical placement capacity for international students is the practical constraint rather than the entry mark itself. Mount Royal is one of the larger nursing providers in Alberta, but places are allocated tightly and demand consistently exceeds supply.
Bachelor of Nursing is taught at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, a public undergraduate university and a designated learning institution. Because Bachelor of Nursing is a degree it is exempt from the Canadian field of study requirement, so completing Bachelor of Nursing supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years without the subject being tested against an eligibility list. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application for Bachelor of Nursing, and the university issues it with the letter of acceptance.
Entry to Bachelor of Nursing is Grade 12 or Class 12 at 90 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Bachelor of Nursing is recorded at CAD 23,800 a year with a CAD 100 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against Bachelor of Nursing. Bachelor of Nursing lists three entry windows, in September and January to 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Nursing application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 86 with at least 20 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with 55 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 100 applies. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Registration as a Registered Nurse in Alberta requires the national licensure examination and registration with the provincial regulator, both separate from graduation.
- Work permit: Bachelor of Nursing is a degree at a public university, so it is exempt from the field of study test and supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years. No spousal open work permit arises, because that needs a master programme of 16 months or longer. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
