A criminal record check  is a legal requirement for nursing registration in PEI. We require that you  obtain a criminal record check from the police agency or approved online agency in each place you have lived in the previous two years and from your country of origin (if other than Canada). Criminal record checks must have been issued within one month of your application date. You must upload your criminal record check in the College application portal and then send the original copy of the criminal record check(s) to CRNMPEI -- this prevents a delay in your application process. We can copy and return the original/s to you, but you must make that request when you are sending the documents.
