Quebec health ministry and the provincial nurse association have reached an agreement
Quebec will allow nurses with overseas or out-of-province nursing education credentials and legal immigrant status to be hired in nursing homes. At least 1,200 immigrant nurses with foreign credentials and qualifications have previously applied to the Quebec nurses’ association to have their education credentials recognized and have taken elective courses or internships for this purpose. Earlier, Ontario allowed some internationally trained doctors to apply for a short-term license to help Canada to combat the pandemic.
