Ontario Expediting Process for U.S. Doctors, Nurses to Work in Province

  • The minister of health announced today that U.S.-licensed doctors and nurses can work in Ontario for up to six months before registering with regulatory colleges.
  • This change follows earlier government efforts to expedite registration for health professionals from other Canadian jurisdictions, aiming to ease workforce shortages.
  • Qualified U.S.-licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses with no misconduct history must still complete immigration processes and seek registration while practicing.
  • Health Minister Sylvia Jones stated that streamlining the process for U.S.-licensed doctors and nurses to live and work in Ontario represents a significant step toward enhancing patient care.
  • The move is expected to increase Ontario’s health-care workforce and make it easier for U.S. professionals to provide timely patient care amid ongoing recruitment challenges.
