Return to Province Applicants

This page is for applicants who:

  • Are currently registered/licensed as a Licensed Practical Nurse in a Canadian province or territory outside of Saskatchewan; and
  • Were previously registered/licensed as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Saskatchewan.

If the above applies to you, please begin your Return to Province Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) online form by clicking on the CLPNS Portal and logging in. If your email address has changed since you were last licensed with the CLPNS, you will need to email us at registration@clpns.com to have it updated and your password reset.

CLPNS Portal

On the home screen of your CLPNS portal, click apply in the Practising box.

 

Tips for getting started

  1.  Update your CLPNS Profile
  2.  If you’ve completed any other post-secondary education since last licensed with the CLPNS, have the date, name of the program and location information available.
  3.  Save copies of two pieces of government-issued identification on your device to upload.
  4. Obtain a recent criminal record check (dated within the last 6 months) from a local police department, RCMP detachment or MyBackCheck.
  5.  Have the number of LPN hours you have worked for the last 5-year period ready to enter.
  6.  Pay the required $200.00 application payment (VISA, VISA Debit, MasterCard, or e-Transfer to finance@clpns.com).
  7. Request a Verification of Registration (VOR) form from the licensing body(s) you are currently licensed with. 

Once the other body(s) complete the form, they will send it directly to the CLPNS.

*Once your application is approved, you must pay the $450 licensure fee before you can begin practising as an LPN.*
