What it is	This program helps nurses trained outside Canada become licensed to work as registered nurses in Ontario. Unlike a full nursing degree, it focuses on bridging your existing credentials to meet Ontario's standards rather than teaching nursing from scratch. It suits internationally trained nurses who already have an RN qualification and want to practise in Ontario without repeating their entire nursing education.	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing.	You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.
