Despite the links between health human resources policy, immigration policy, and education policy, silos persist in the policymaking process that complicate the professional integration of internationally educated nurses in Canada. Drawing on the
literature on nurse migration to Canada through the Live-in Caregiver Program, this paper sheds light on the contradictions
between immigration and health human resources policy and their effect on the integration of internationally educated nurses
in Canada. The analysis reveals a series of paradoxes within and across immigration and health human resources policy that
affect the process of professional integration of this group of health professionals into the nursing workforce in Canada. I will
further link the discussion to the recently implemented Caregiver Program, which provides a unique pathway for healthcare
workers, including nurses, to migrate to Canada. Given recent introduction of the Canadian Caregiver Program, major policy
implications include the need to bridge the gap between health human resources policy and immigration policy to ensure the
maximum integration of migrant nurses in Canada.
