icon: alert warning

If you are a Canadian RN, and ARE NOT currently registered to practice in another Canadian province or territory, please refer to these application instructions.

Step 1: CNNB Profile

Create your CNNB profile online and follow the steps.

Step 2: Out-of-Province Application

Complete the Out of Province application form on your CNNB profile and pay the applicable fees.

Step 3: Legal Name

Submit proof of your legal name (valid Canadian ID) during the completion of your online application.

If you are submitting documents in a different name (e.g., transcripts, verifications from other regulatory bodies, etc.), you must provide documentation to support the name change (e.g., marriage certificate or name change certificate), which can be done while completing your application.

Step 4: Jurisprudence Module

Complete the Jurisprudence E-learning found on your CNNB profile and notify us by email once complete. Please email reg-imm@cnnb-opinb.ca.

Step 5: Criminal Record Check

Submit a current enhanced criminal record check through CSI Screening.

  • This can be done by visiting www.csiscreening.com, and completing the Canadian enhanced Criminal Record Check. Please indicate “CNNB” as the company. This must be sent directly from CSI to reg-imm@cnnb-opinb.ca.
  • For criminal record checks from other sources such as the local police or RCMP, NANB requires the original stamped copy be sent to us by mail at 590 Brunswick Street, Fredericton NB, E3B 1H5.
  • Criminal record checks are valid for six months from the date of issue.

Step 6: Pay Registration Fees

Once your application is approved for registration, pay all applicable registration fees. Please see Fee Schedule.

Please Note

Ensure that you list everywhere you are currently registered in the Confirmation of Active Registration section of your online application, as this will ensure your application is processed without delay.

Please note that CNNB may still request verification of registration documents at the Registrar’s discretion.
