Studies demonstrate that where immigrants choose to settle has an impact on how effectively they integrate into employment. In Canada, there has been a shift in immigrant settlement patterns away from large urban centres toward small and mid‐sized cities. Understanding how…

Impacts of the Interim Federal Health Program reforms
Impact of Public Policy on Nursing Employment
Due to economic instability, employment status has been shifting over time. Organizations have been moving toward a flexible contingent workforce. An early study of employment patterns demonstrated a significant rise in part-time and casual employment in the Ontario nursing workforce ( Baumann et al. 2006 ). The Nursing Graduate Guarantee, a public policy initiative, represents a substantial investment by the provincial government to stimulate fu…
Nurse Migration to Canada
Many internationally educated nurses (IENs) find it difficult to reinstate themselves in their profession after migration. This article explores factors contributing to the success and failure of IENs to reestablish professional careers. The article discusses a study involving 39 IENs in 5 focus groups and 10 interviews. In all, 29 interviews are held with other stakeholders. IENs encounter obstacles at each stage of the migration process. New st…
