Candidate
Enrollment Agreement.
This is the agreement you accept when you create a Nurse Bridge account. In plain terms: we sell exam-readiness education only. We never charge a fee tied to a job, a placement, or an immigration outcome, and we never guarantee licensure or employment.
This Agreement is under active legal review and some commercial terms (tuition amount, refund schedule, company address) are shown as placeholders below pending finalization. Checking the acceptance box at signup records that you have read this page as it exists on the date you signed up; it does not itself set a tuition amount or payment obligation. Program-specific pricing and payment terms are confirmed separately in writing before any payment is due. Questions: contact us.
This Candidate Enrollment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the date you create your account (the “Effective Date”) between The Nurse Bridge (the “Company”) and the individual creating the account (the “Candidate”), each a “Party” and together the “Parties.”
1 Definitions
1.1 “Program” means the Company's exam-readiness and licensure-preparation curriculum selected by the Candidate, which may include preparation for the NCLEX-RN examination, the Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment Network (“CELBAN”) examination or equivalent French-language assessment, and Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (“OIIQ”) licensure requirements.
1.2 “Sponsor” means, where applicable, an employer that has agreed to pay some or all of the Candidate's Tuition under a separate agreement between the Sponsor and the Company.
2 Nature of Services — Education Only
2.1 The Company is an education and examination-readiness provider. The Company does not act as, and is not, an employment agency, staffing agency, recruiter, or immigration consultant.
2.2 Enrollment in the Program is a contract for educational services. It is not, and must not be represented as, a guarantee, promise, or facilitation of employment, a job offer, sponsorship, or any immigration outcome.
3 Program Description
3.1 The specific curriculum, schedule, format (in-person/online), and duration of the Program selected by the Candidate are set out in the Program Description provided at enrollment, incorporated herein by reference.
3.2 The Program may include diagnostic assessment, structured drilling and practice testing, CELBAN/French-language preparation, and OIIQ-requirement coaching, as selected by the Candidate at enrollment.
4 Tuition and Fees
4.1 Tuition for the Program, and its payment schedule, is set out in the fee information provided to the Candidate at enrollment or before any payment is due [amount and schedule to be finalized].
4.2 All fees are itemized transparently and include no hidden charges. Any third-party costs (e.g., official NCLEX-RN/CELBAN examination fees, OIIQ application fees, transcript evaluation fees) are separately identified and are the Candidate's responsibility unless a Sponsor has agreed otherwise in writing.
4.3 If a Sponsor is paying some or all of the Tuition on the Candidate's behalf, the terms of that sponsorship (including any reporting to the Sponsor) are governed by Section 11 and require the Candidate's separate written consent.
5 No Placement Fees. No Recruitment Fees. Ever.
5.1 The Company will never charge the Candidate, directly or indirectly, any fee connected to job placement, job referral, or employment, including but not limited to: recruitment fees, placement fees, finder's fees, or any fee contingent on the Candidate obtaining a job offer, work permit, or employment.
5.2 The Candidate is not required to pay, and the Company will not accept, any fee from the Candidate in exchange for a job lead, employer introduction, or interview opportunity.
5.3 The Candidate acknowledges that several Canadian provinces prohibit or restrict recruiters and employment-related businesses from charging fees to workers for recruitment or placement services under provincial recruitment and temporary-help agency licensing laws. Regardless of jurisdiction, the Company charges tuition for education only and never a fee tied to a job outcome.
5.4 If the Candidate is later approached by a person or entity claiming to represent the Company and requesting payment for a job placement, the Candidate should treat this as unauthorized and report it to the Company immediately via our contact page.
6 No Immigration Advice
6.1 The Company does not provide immigration advice, representation, or consulting services of any kind. Under section 91 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), only authorized representatives (e.g., licensed immigration consultants, lawyers, or notaries in Québec) may provide advice or representation for consideration in connection with an application or proceeding under that Act.
6.2 Nothing provided by the Company — including Program materials, staff communications, or Sponsor-reporting arrangements — constitutes immigration advice. Candidates requiring immigration advice must consult an authorized immigration representative.
6.3 The Company makes no representation regarding any Candidate's eligibility for, or likelihood of obtaining, a work permit, permanent residence, or any other immigration status.
7 Payment Terms and Refund Policy
7.1 Payment terms (due dates, accepted methods, late payment consequences) are set out in the fee information provided at enrollment.
7.2 Refund policy details, including any full-refund window and pro-rated schedule, will be finalized with counsel and, where applicable, aligned to provincial private-career-college or consumer-protection rules [to be finalized].
7.3 If the Program is cancelled by the Company before completion, the Candidate is entitled to a full refund of unearned Tuition.
8 Code of Conduct
8.1 The Candidate agrees to: (a) attend scheduled sessions and complete assigned coursework in good faith; (b) engage respectfully with Company staff and other Candidates; (c) not share, resell, or redistribute Program materials without the Company's written consent; (d) provide accurate information during enrollment and diagnostic assessment.
8.2 The Company may suspend or terminate a Candidate's enrollment for serious or repeated violations of this Code of Conduct, academic dishonesty (e.g., examination fraud), or non-payment, subject to the refund terms in Section 7.
9 Attendance and Academic Standards
9.1 Minimum attendance and progress benchmarks for continued enrollment are set out in the Program Description. The Company may require a Candidate to repeat modules or extend the Program timeline where benchmarks are not met.
10 No Guarantee of Licensure or Employment Outcome
10.1 The Company does not guarantee that the Candidate will pass any examination, obtain licensure or registration with OIIQ or any other regulatory body, or obtain any offer of employment, work permit, or immigration status.
10.2 Examination results and licensure decisions are made exclusively by third-party testing bodies and regulators over which the Company has no control. Program completion reflects delivery of education services, not a guaranteed outcome.
11 Data Privacy and Consent (Québec Law 25)
11.1 The Company collects and processes the Candidate's personal information to deliver and administer the Program, in accordance with An Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Québec), as amended by the Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information (“Law 25”). See our Privacy policy for full detail on what is collected and why.
11.2 The Company will not disclose the Candidate's individually identifiable information to any Sponsor, employer, or third party except: (a) with the Candidate's prior, informed, written consent specifying what data, to whom, for what purpose, and for how long; or (b) as required by law.
11.3 The Candidate may access, correct, or request deletion of their personal information, and may withdraw any previously given consent for future disclosures, by written request via our contact page.
12 No Employment or Visa Promises
12.1 No statement made by the Company, its staff, or its marketing materials — whether oral or written — should be understood as a promise, offer, guarantee, or facilitation of employment, sponsorship, or immigration status. Any such statement is void and unenforceable, and the Candidate agrees not to rely on any representation inconsistent with this Section.
13 Term, Withdrawal, and Termination
13.1 This Agreement is effective from the Effective Date until the Candidate completes or withdraws from the Program, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated under Section 8.2.
13.2 The Candidate may withdraw from the Program at any time by written notice, subject to the refund terms in Section 7.
14 Limitation of Liability
14.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total Tuition paid by (or on behalf of) the Candidate.
14.2 The Company is not liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages, including lost employment opportunities.
15 Governing Law
15.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
15.2 The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Québec.
16 Entire Agreement
16.1 This Agreement, together with any Program Description and fee information provided at enrollment, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, and agreements, written or oral.
16.2 No amendment is effective unless in writing and signed by both Parties.
