In 2017, officials from the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) of the United States signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA). Both organizations are recognized as accrediting agencies for registered nursing education in their respective counties. Both organizations acknowledge that although the forms of accreditation are not interchangeable because of some differences, each party fully recognizes the credibility of the accreditation process of the other.
