She knew she wanted to return to nursing. Finding the right path was the challenge.

An internationally educated practical nurse from Japan faced barriers with credential recognition and English requirements when she began exploring her nursing career in Canada.

With support from the Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants (CPSI) program at Douglas College, she explored her options, built her English skills, prepared for her NCAS assessment and navigated the steps toward registration.

After a two-month job search, she landed an LPN position at a local hospital.

Her journey reminds us that with the right guidance and support, barriers don’t have to stand in the way of career goals.

🔐 Protect your SIN like you protect your other personal information.

Your Social Insurance Number (SIN) is sensitive personal information. Knowing when you need to provide it and when you don’t can help protect you from identity theft.

A good rule: Keep your SIN card or document somewhere safe and don’t carry it in your wallet.

Save this tip and share it with someone who may be new to Canada. 🍁
