Indirect pathways into practice: A comparative examination of Indian and Philippine internationally educated nurses and their entry into Ontario's nursing profession.

In Canada half of all internationally educated nurses (IENs) are employed in Ontario, and in 2010 the top three countries where new IENs had received their training were the Philippines, India and China. This presentation reports on preliminary results from an ongoing research project examining the experiences of IENs from the Philippines and India who intend to enter Ontario's nursing profession indirectly via temporary migration streams. The preliminary survey results will be presented, including differences in the characteristics and experiences of the two groups as they follow migration and occupational pathways to enter Canada and the nursing profession in Ontario. The preliminary findings will highlight some of the issues the data reveal in terms of specific settlement experiences, issues of effective conversion of pre-migration training into professional practice post-migration, and how policy shifts toward temporary and two-step migration may be shaping the nature of IENs' indirect pathways into practice.

在加拿大，半数拥有国际教育背景的护士（简称 IENs）在安大略省工作，2010 年，新加入的 IENs 接受培训的前三大国家依次为菲律宾、印度和中国。本报告基于一项持续进行的研究项目，旨在探讨旨在通过临时移民途径间接进入安大略省护理行业的菲律宾和印度 IENs 的经历。初步调查结果将呈现，包括两组在遵循移民和职业发展路径进入加拿大及安大略省护理行业过程中的特征和经历差异。初步发现将着重揭示数据所揭示的特定定居经验问题、移民前培训向移民后专业实践有效转换的问题，以及政策向临时和两步迁移转变如何塑造 IENs 间接进入实践路径的性质。
