Question 1

Do I need a separate account for each scheme?

Accepted Answer

No. You create one LMN account and use it to apply to as many schemes as you qualify for. Your profile and previously uploaded documents stay with your account.

Question 2

Is there a fee to apply?

Accepted Answer

No. Creating an account and applying through the LMN portal is completely free — there are no application fees.

Question 3

Which documents will I need?

Accepted Answer

Each scheme publishes its own checklist — typically passport, nursing licence, degree or diploma, transcripts, CV, reference letters, English test results and a police clearance. The scheme page lists the exact items, formats and size limits.

Question 4

What happens if a document is rejected?

Accepted Answer

You receive a notification with the reviewer's reason. Only the rejected item needs to be re-uploaded — the rest of your application stays intact and previous versions are retained for the audit trail.

Question 5

How long does review take?

Accepted Answer

Document review normally begins within a few business days of submission. Timelines vary by scheme and volume; your dashboard always shows the current stage of each application.

Question 6

Can I withdraw an application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You may withdraw an application at any time before a final decision.

Question 7

Are my documents secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Files are stored in private encrypted storage. Only you and authorised LMN reviewers can access them, and every access or review action is logged.

Question 8

Can I apply if my licence is from outside Canada?

Accepted Answer

Most of our schemes are designed specifically for internationally educated nurses. Check the eligibility section of each scheme for the licences and countries it accepts.
