Internationally educated nurses and inactive nurses who submit, or have submitted, their Reinstatement or General Class registration applications to the CNO between August 18, 2022 to March 31, 2025 are eligible for the program.

Expenses incurred between April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 are eligible for reimbursement.
