PRACTICAL NURSING Admission to this program is highly competitive for international applicants. This means that there are more qualified international applicants than available seats. As a result, qualified applicants will be ranked based on admission requirement grades submitted. The specific average required for admission may vary for each intake, and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the highest qualifications. For the past several years, minimum grades for the admission requirements have consistently been at 85 per cent or higher to receive an offer to the Practical Nursing program.
