Manitoba’s Immigration Minister Malaya Marcelino is working to ease accreditation for internationally-educated nurses in the province. Marcelino, who took over the immigration portfolio a month ago, is responding to calls from these nurses across Canada. The Manitoba government successfully welcomed hundreds of foreign healthcare professionals after a Philippines mission, with over 300 now working as nurses or health aides across the province. Manitoba Health Minister Audrey Gordon reiterated their commitment to health system improvement and patient care access. Over 300 candidates who passed interviews during a recruitment mission to the Philippines accepted job offers and have started arriving in Manitoba.
