What are the qualifications for health care workers interested in job opportunities in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan has regulatory groups that monitor nursing and health care profession requirements that need to be met. There may be additional training needed for internationally educated registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, continuing care aides and other professionals.

The Government of Saskatchewan has been working collaboratively with health and post-secondary partners to shorten the training and licensing pathway to allow for a quicker entry of internationally trained nurses into the labour market.

Does Saskatchewan currently have internationally educated health care workers employed in the health system?

Yes, Saskatchewan has many internationally educated health care workers successfully building their careers within our health care system, for example from the Philippines. Read about Carmela, Michael and Phoebe and watch the story of Maria Theresa Villarosa.

What makes Saskatchewan an attractive place for overseas health care workers?

Saskatchewan is a great place to choose to build a career in the health care field, but also build a life for yourself and your family. We have excellent supports and incentives for internationally trained health care professionals interested in coming to work and live here along with their families. There are also significant employment opportunities in Saskatchewan for family members who work outside of health care.

Many internationally educated health care workers seeking to come to Saskatchewan already have family members and friends who have settled in Saskatchewan, have heard great things about our province, and wish to join our workforce.
