Licensed Practical Nurse Licence: Moving from British Columbia to Quebec
The short answer
Not stated
The page states that a licensed practical nurse graduated in another Canadian province and in good standing with their professional order can obtain a Quebec permit on the basis of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, but it does not say whether the entry-to-practice exam or an assessment is waived.
