Bolstering Pathways to Practice: Empowering Internationally Educated Nurses in Canada

Bolstering Pathways to Practice: Empowering Internationally Educated Nurses in Canada outlines key recommendations to break down barriers for IENs living in Canada to practice nursing and excel within the profession. Despite the sacrifices IENs make to relocate their lives and families to Canada, only 42% of those who are employed are working as nurses. The report includes detailed recommendations, including a standardised route to licensure for IENs across Canada, wrap-around supports for IENs and effective workplace integration for IENs. Bolstering Pathways to Practice was authored by Dr. Makini McGuire-Brown in partnership with the CFNU and World Education Services (WES).
