recruitment of internationally-trained nurses

Newfoundland and Labrador to ease the recruitment of internationally-trained nurses

On June 2, 2023, Newfoundland and Labrador made it easier for internationally-trained nurses to work in the province by amending the Registered Nurses Regulations. The changes include establishing a Designated Countries Pathway for nurses from seven countries, including the US, UK, India, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, and reducing costs and education assessment time for International Nursing Applicants.  The Provincial Government plans to welcome approximately 200-300 nurses from India by the end of this year. Currently, there are already 200 internationally-educated nurses working in the province. More than 500 more nurses have joined the healthcare sector since April 2022. The Provincial Government anticipates being able to recruit more nurses in the province with improved registration and licensing processes. On Friday, June 2, as part of the Health Care Action update, the Hon. Tom Osborne, Minister of Health and Community Services, made the announcement. Lynn Power, Executive Director of the College of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador, and Debbie Molloy, Vice-President of Human Resources, were present with Minister Osborne. The amendment will help decrease administrative delays and allow the College of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador to register and license applicants more quickly while ensuring that registered nurses are qualified to provide safe and ethical care. These changes will be made in addition to policy changes that were previously approved by the College of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador.   New Brunswick’s Nurses Association announced streamlining the registration process for foreign-educated nurses The Nurses Association of New Brunswick has announced that the registration process for internationally educated nurses from 14 countries will be expedited. This will cut the time to become registered to work in the province from 12-18 months to as few as 14 days for nurses from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Hong Kong, India, Philippines, United Arab Emirates, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Morocco, and Lebanon.

supportive of immigration

Canadians are increasingly supportive of immigration

Canadians are supportive of immigration is often seen as a core part of Canadian identity, but policy decisions and international perceptions also play a role in determining immigration levels. Canada aims to admit 1.45 million new immigrants between 2023 and 2025.  Both Canadian and international perspectives on immigration policies affect newcomers’ matters, as immigrants must have a desire to come to Canada. Century Initiative, a non-partisan charity, reported on factors that could affect Canadian immigration, including public opinion, Canada’s brand for immigrants, and potential risks such as affordable housing.   Immigrants’ Contribution to the Canadian Economy The number of people working and paying taxes to support public services, like health care, is one way to assess the health of Canada’s economy. Immigration is to thank for Canada’s labor force’s continued moderate annual increase. The ability of companies to fill open positions with eligible candidates depends on how well they can welcome immigrants. This is because of Canadians living longer lives and having fewer kids. Fewer people are enrolling in schools, and more individuals are retiring. As a result, they lack enough workers of the future that were born in Canada. In addition to filling vacant positions and paying taxes, immigrants also spend money on commodities, housing, and transportation, which helps the Canadian economy.   Why do immigrants choose Canada? Canada constantly ranks as one of the most popular destinations for immigrants to call home. The fact that there are many great reasons to immigrate to Canada so it’s not surprising. Canada has earned its place among the world’s best countries because of its high standard of living, valued multiculturalism, and wonderful surroundings. Canada has a complex, decades-long history of immigration. In fact, immigration and multiculturalism are linked and form the foundation of Canada’s national identity.  This holds true both historically and in both the present and future. Each year, more people are expected to immigrate to Canada in years to come. By 2025, the country is anticipated to welcome about 500,000 newcomers, the greatest number ever.   Why do so many international students choose Canada? Canada is a popular destination for international students due to various reasons. Firstly, Canada’s education system is well-respected globally, offering high-quality education and research opportunities.  Additionally, Canada is known for its multiculturalism, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for international students. The country is also considered safe and politically stable, making it an attractive option for those seeking a secure study destination.  Moreover, Canada’s post-graduation work permit program allows international students to gain valuable work experience after completing their studies, which can lead to permanent residency there. All these factors make Canada an appealing choice for international students. Click here to read the complete details. Why do many international students choose Canada?
