Thank you, Minister. I've written to you about this and I haven't had a response, so please respond and please take action.
There are a number of internationally educated nurses who have worked hard to meet Canadian standards and are licensed to practise here in Canada, but are unable to do so because they do not have an open work permit and their PR application is stuck with lengthy delays.
Will the minister immediately issue a bridging open work permit to those waiting for their PR application to be processed, and expedite their PR applications?
