Suitable Candidates

Candidates must have a valid registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) to work as an RN or RPN in Ontario. An overseas nursing qualification does not automatically permit practice in Ontario.

Candidates with foot care training or experience are preferred. Candidates without a Foot Care certificate may still submit their application for consideration, but must proactively register, complete the required training, and obtain the appropriate Foot Care certificate before the required deadline. Completing the training and obtaining the certificate is the candidate's responsibility; the clinic does not organize or sponsor the training.

Nail/pedicure experience is preferred.

Candidates without a foot care certificate may consider the options below. Candidates are responsible for researching, registering, and paying the tuition, as well as completing the course and submitting the certificate.

Training information checked on October 11, 2026; the schedule, tuition, and admission requirements may change.

Express Entry: The Advantages of Nursing

Both occupation groups are on the Express Entry Healthcare and social services list. Current experience requirements: at least 12 months of full-time or equivalent part-time work within the last 3 years in the same occupation group; work may be in Canada or abroad and does not need to be continuous. Candidates must still qualify for an Express Entry program and meet the requirements of the current invitation round. This is an additional opportunity for selection by occupation group; an invitation or permanent residency is not guaranteed.

Eligible Canadian work experience may improve the CRS score. As of March 25, 2025, job offers no longer add 50 or 200 CRS points.

Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Requirements

Legally working in Canada for pay may help candidates meet the CEC requirements after at least 1 year of eligible experience within the last 3 years, equivalent to 1,560 hours; only a maximum of 30 hours per week counts. Working more hours will not reduce the required time to less than one year. Self-employment and full-time study experience are generally not counted. 

CEC language requirements: RNs in TEER 1 need CLB/NCLC 7; RPNs in TEER 2 need CLB/NCLC 5 in all four skills. This is the minimum eligibility threshold, not a guaranteed invitation level.

Candidates Outside Canada

Candidates with overseas nursing experience may be assessed under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) for Express Entry before gaining Canadian experience. Experience, language skills, education/ECA, selection score, and other requirements must be checked. Immigration eligibility and Ontario licensing eligibility are assessed separately.

Ontario Nomination Opportunities

As confirmed by KeyApply, the employer currently meets the OINP employer requirements. Candidates and the position must still be assessed separately under the applicable program, including the job offer, license, and other requirements. An eligible employer does not guarantee that a candidate will be invited, nominated, or granted permanent residency. KeyApply and the employer do not guarantee immigration results; policies, quotas, and selection criteria may change.
