The Government of Quebec is going to invest $65 million to recruit 1,000 foreign-trained nurses from francophone countries over the next two years as a part of Quebec’s action plan to recognize the foreign credentials of immigrants.

The provincial Immigration Minister Jean Boulet said that this initiative will allow Quebec to speed up international recruitment efforts.

The plan also includes settlement services to help these newcomers integrate into society as well as resolve labour shortages in healthcare and social services.
