Program overview
A certificate of achievement bridging internationally educated nurses toward Canadian practice, covering Canadian nursing standards, clinical skills refreshers, health law and supervised clinical experience.
Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing is recorded at CAD 5,428, by far the cheapest programme here, and it is designed for nurses who already hold a nursing degree.
Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing is taught at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta. Understand clearly what Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing is before applying: it is a bridging certificate of achievement, not a credential, and it does NOT lead to a Post-Graduation Work Permit under any circumstances. You can hold a study permit while taking Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing and progress into a degree afterwards, and it is that degree which would carry work permit rights. An Alberta attestation letter is still required with the study permit application for Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing, and Mount Royal issues it with the letter of acceptance.

The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing is recorded at CAD 5,428 a year with a CAD 100 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed four year bachelor degree, plus the professional background this programme assumes.
- 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: Designed for internationally educated nurses who already hold a nursing qualification. Registration in Alberta is decided by the provincial nursing regulator through a separate assessment, and completing this programme does not guarantee it.
- Work permit: Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing does NOT support a Post-Graduation Work Permit, because it is a bridging certificate of achievement rather than a credential and no amount of study on Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing counts toward work permit eligibility. Treat Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing as a route into a degree, and check the work permit position of that degree instead. The study permit application for Certificate of Achievement, Bridge to Canadian Nursing still requires an Alberta attestation letter.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.

- Licensed Practical Nurse: an alternative registration route
- Clinical Support Worker: while completing registration
- Health Care Aide: an interim role

Reality check: this is a certificate of achievement rather than a credential, so it does not itself produce a work permit, and Canadian nursing registration is decided by the provincial regulator not by the university.
