Canadian initiative attracts US healthcare workers amid immigration reforms

A community-led initiative in British Columbia is successfully recruiting American healthcare professionals to alleviate critical staffing shortages.

Following a viral social media event that drew hundreds of participants to Vancouver Island, recruitment efforts have intensified with provincial authorities actively reducing bureaucratic barriers.

The initiative leverages an online community of 1,800 members, predominantly US healthcare workers, facilitating immigration transitions through peer support.
