There seems to be two main nursing levels in Canada Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Registered Nurse. Their RNs do the equivalent to a degree and so although my wife sent her RN details (nursing for 27 years and now F grade) they said they werent good enough and that she would have to apply as an LPN. She doesn't want to do that as it seems it is more basic stuff.
Try checking details on CARNA website and CLPNA as examples.
