Foreign-trained nurses will continue to play a critical role in the face of Canada's worsening health care labour shortage.
The Quebec health network is seeking to fill its current shortage of nurses by recruiting abroad.
This information was reported by the French-language media, Radio-Canada.
According to the information reported, recruitment sessions will be held in France and Belgium over the next few months in order to “attract at least 1,700 nurses and more than 200 orderlies to Quebec.”
Quebec is not the only province facing a shortage of nurses. For several weeks now, provinces across the country have been warning of the severity of the situation, which predates the pandemic but has been exacerbated by it.
