Applicant FAQs

Until your application gets approved and you pay the registration fee, make sure you are using the applicant portal and not the member login. The member login will become available to you once you are officially registered with CANNN.

Another point to consider is to make sure you are using a computer. Phones and tablets are not
compatible with the Applicant Portal and Member Login on our website.

Once all requirements have been met for your application, it can take 10-15 business days to hear back from us with further questions and/or a decision on your registration.

All forms must come directly from the source to our office (by email or fax). We do not accept forwarded forms from applicants.

Documents expire after six months. This is how we ensure we have the full picture of your current nursing practice. We cannot reuse previously submitted forms and documents.

The employer forms can be completed by your supervisor, manager, a nurse in charge, or a representative from human resources. If you have worked with an employer through an agency, we can consider the completed forms coming from the agency.

We strongly advise that you keep up with your application requirements by signing into your applicant portal. As forms and documents come in, they are added to your application and marked as received.

You are responsible for requesting forms and documents from third parties – whether that be from employers, colleagues, and/or other regulatory bodies. CANNN does not request forms on behalf of applicants.

Your application will remain active for six months from when you initially apply.

If your application is still valid (within six months of initially applying), you can wait to pay your registration fee. Your registration will not become active until the fee has been paid.
