For people who have PR applications and who are health care professionals, we are already expediting applications. There's a unique issue around internationally educated nurses that I think we can make progress on, but the reasons why one person may be delayed could be very different from why other people are delayed. Some of them have come through different programs where they are specifically approved to come to Canada to work as caregivers, for example; others may not be.
People who are here in Canada now can simultaneously make an application for permanent residence to come in through a different stream. However, we need to continue to work with provinces, which have jurisdiction over the regulating bodies that manage the qualifications a person is required to have in order to practise in their given field. That's something that I'm looking forward to continuing in my conversations with every province in Canada, because I think it presents an excellent opportunity to increase the number of health care workers in Canada.
