On May 12 of each year, Canada honours International Nurses Day to recognize the contributions nurses make to ensuring that Canadians receive the highest calibre of medical treatment.
According to the most recent data on open positions, the healthcare and social support industry had the most open vacancies ever in January 2023 with 162,100. Immigration and the expedited acceptance of credentials for internationally educated nurses (IENs) are both key components of addressing the employment shortfall and filling these positions, according to both the federal government and the provinces.
