Canadian nursing schools by province and city
A directory of the Canadian schools we cover, grouped by province and city. Each line comes from the school’s own guide page on this site, built from official school and regulator pages. Where a school has no nursing program that we could find, we say so.
Fiabita is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any school listed here. Admissions, programs, placements and professional requirements change: verify them with the school and the regulator.

How we check these pages
- We read the school’s official program and admission pages and the regulator’s own pages, and link to them from each school guide.
- Every guide shows “Last checked October 2026”. Programs, dates and requirements change, so the official pages are the authority.
- We leave out what we could not confirm, and we do not publish tuition, cut-offs, pass rates or rankings.
