A 2020 report showed 14,633 internationally educated nurses were actively pursuing a licence through the College of Nurses of Ontario
TORONTO — Ontario's health minister is giving the regulatory colleges for nurses and doctors two weeks to develop plans to more quickly register internationally educated professionals.
The minister also directed the nursing college to develop supports for the internationally trained nurses – for example to bring their skills to Ontario standards – to allow them to practice "in a timely way."Hospitals have been under strain in the province, with some emergency rooms forced to close for hours or days at a time due to staff shortages.
A 2020 report from Ontario's fairness commissioner showed that 14,633 internationally educated nurses were actively pursuing a licence through the College of Nurses of Ontario. That same year, just over 2,000 international applicants became fully registered members.
