CANNN Expedited Registration

The requirements for an expedited registration as a nurse in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are as follow:

• A Certificate for Expedited Registration in an emergency is issued for a maximum of 90 days. It will expire on its expiration date or at the end of the emergency, whichever comes first.
• There is no renewal of an Expedited Registration. Any nurse who intends to practice in the NT or NU post emergency must apply for initial registration as a nurse with CANNN.
• The NT/NU employer will be required to supply CANNN with the names of nurses who will be applying for an Expedited Registration.
• Definition: Emergency – requiring expedited registration of nurses.
