  • they are registered by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) in the General, Extended, or Temporary class
  • their primary NOC falls under one of the following occupations:
    • NOC 31300 – Nursing coordinators and supervisors
    • NOC 31301 – Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses
    • NOC 31302 – Nurse practitioners
    • NOC 32101 – Licensed practical nurses
