Not without an adapter, but I hear that they are often not worth it unless you get one that is most likely twice the amount of the equivalent Canon fit.

Why bother?

The VR system probably won't work, you'll lose autofocus, and you'll be limited to Av and M modes. There's also the price of the adapter to consider.

Buy lenses compatible with your camera body.

Yes, but you will need an adapter. And then, it probably won't autofocus.

Not recommended. At best, even if you can find an adapter, you will have to use the lens in manual focus and manual exposure mode - and you will not be able to control the aperture. Further, VR will be disabled.

And optically, you may find it is not as sharp as a lens made for your camera. Also, you will likely find you can't achieve infinity focus - meaning it will behave like a close-up lens, just as if you put an extension tube on the lens.

Adapters can successfully be used only in rare situations.

Mostly agree with the above.
Because the Nikon F mount is narrower than the Canon EOS mount, it can fit within an adapter that does not require optical correction for infinity focus.
Because it is a G lens that lacks an aperture ring it would need the right adapter (there are several wrong ones available) that has its own mechanical link the the lens's aperture lever.
Again, no metering, no auto exposure, no auto focus, and no electronic manual focus assist indicator.
