WHAT IS CELBAN?
CELBAN stands for "Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses". This exam is specific to nursing and is recognized by the nursing regulatory bodies in Canada. It’s a test designed for internationally educated nurses pursuing professional registration in Canada.
If you are practicing in Quebec and wish to move to another province in Canada, you will also be required to demonstrate a sufficient level of English as a second or additional language.
