As a nurse specifically an LPN would you have to retake any tests to do the same and work in Canada?

The simple answer is YES.

You need to prove your academic background is on par with the Canadian equivalent, AND you have to prove practical experience. Sometimes this is as simple as a letter from your previous employers (at least 5 years' worth), but most often it means taking the test - or at least a portion of it - again.

This is because you need to be accredited by the province in which you intend to work.

(The same holds true for going from Canada to the US, by the way).

YES

depends in what country you did your training

Contact the College of Nurses of Ontario if you are planning to move to Ontario. This province does NOT have an LPN programme but it does have a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) programme so there will be some hoops that you may/will have to jump through.

To be registered as a Nurse in the province of Ontario yes you will have to take a test with a minimum pass mark. I've put the URL for the international applicants below.

Good luck, in what ever province you decide to locate to.
