Province to recruit Filipino Nurses to work and immigrate in Manitoba

With the growing need for more health-care workers, the government of Manitoba will send a delegation to the Philippines in February in an effort to recruit Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs).

The group which will include Manitoba Advanced Education, Immigration and Skills Minister Jon Reyes, is scheduled to visit the cities of Manila, Cebu and Iloilo between Feb. 21-25, 2023. Filipino applicants will be pre-screened to meet specific requirements, with a specific focus on IENs who have worked for at least two years in acute (hospital) or long-term care, and who have completed  an internationally recognized English language test.

The Manitoba government has developed a comprehensive support and mentorship package for eligible nurses that will include support for travel, immigration costs, credentialing, and buddied mentorship.
