Abstract

Nurses who migrate through the Canadian Live-in Caregiver Program face significant barriers to their subsequent workforce integration as registered nurses in Canada. This study applies the concept of global care chains and uses single case study methodology to explore the experiences of 15 Philippine-educated nurses who migrated to Ontario, Canada, through the Live-in Caregiver Program. The focus is the various challenges they encountered with nursing workforce integration and how they negotiated their contradictory class status. Due to their initial legal status in Canada and working conditions as migrant workers, they were challenged by credential assessment, the registration examination, access to bridging programs, high financial costs, and ambivalent employer support. The results of the study are pertinent for nursing policymakers and educators aiming to facilitate the integration of internationally educated nurses in Canada.

摘要

通过加拿大住家护理员计划移民的护士在随后以注册护士身份融入加拿大劳动力市场时面临重大障碍。本研究应用全球护理链的概念，并采用单案例研究方法，探讨了15名通过住家护理员计划移民到加拿大安大略省的菲律宾受过教育的护士的经历。重点是她们在护理劳动力融入方面遇到的各种挑战，以及她们如何应对自己矛盾的阶级地位。由于她们在加拿大的初始法律地位以及作为移民工人的工作条件，她们在学历评估、注册考试、进入衔接课程、高昂的经济成本以及雇主支持的矛盾态度等方面面临挑战。该研究结果对于旨在促进国际受过教育的护士融入加拿大的护理政策制定者和教育工作者具有相关性。
