HEALTH CARE STREAMS

 

Canada's healthcare system relies on skilled professionals to deliver quality care to its residents, making it an attractive destination for healthcare workers seeking opportunities for career advancement and personal growth. Whether you're a nurse, physician, allied health professional, or healthcare administrator, there are various programs and pathways available to help you pursue your career goals in Canada. At Litmus Immigration Services Inc., we specialize in assisting healthcare professionals with navigating the Canadian immigration system and accessing programs tailored to their unique skills and qualifications.

​

Key Programs for Healthcare Workers:

​

1. Express Entry: The Express Entry system is a fast-track immigration pathway for skilled workers, including healthcare professionals, to obtain permanent residency in Canada. Healthcare occupations are in high demand across Canada, and eligible candidates may qualify for programs such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), or the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

2. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Many provinces and territories in Canada have specific streams and pathways under their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) to attract and retain healthcare workers. These programs may offer accelerated processing times and additional support for healthcare professionals seeking permanent residency in specific regions.

3. Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP): The RNIP is designed to address labor shortages in rural and northern communities across Canada by facilitating the immigration of skilled workers, including healthcare professionals, to these regions. Participating communities collaborate with local employers to nominate eligible candidates for permanent residency.

4. Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP): The AIP targets skilled workers, including healthcare professionals, to fill job vacancies in the Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Employers in these provinces can hire foreign healthcare workers through designated organizations and support their transition to permanent residency.

5. Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP): The TFWP allows Canadian employers facing labor shortages to hire foreign workers on a temporary basis to fill immediate job vacancies. Healthcare employers may utilize this program to recruit international healthcare professionals for positions that cannot be filled by Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
