CARE Centre is an organization that assists internationally educated nurses to enter the nursing profession in Ontario. If you are an internationally educated health care professional, please contact Health Force Ontario for assistance.

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) is the regulatory body of nursing in Ontario. You must apply to register with the CNO and received the results of that application prior to becoming a CARE member. Please visit the CNO website for more information.

A permanent resident is a Canadian citizen, or a landed immigrant or a Convention refugee. CARE Centre’s mandate allows us to provide services to permanent residents of Ontario and live-in-caregivers.
