There are several things you can do to prepare for registration with CRNMPEI prior to moving to Canada: Visit the Government of Prince Edward Island’s website for more information about immigration. Visit the PEI Association of Newcomers website for more information about settling in Prince Edward Island and services they offer to assist you. Begin the application to the National Nursing Assessment Service as soon as you start to consider living and working in Canada. This process can take many months, so the faster you submit the required documents to the NNAS, the better. Get a criminal record check completed in your home country just prior to leaving. Review the Entry Level Competencies and Standards for Nursing Practice for Prince Edward Island to prepare for a possible competence assessment following the NNAS assessment.
