CARE Centre membership is free and available for internationally educated nurses who meet the eligibility requirements (e.g., appropriate nursing education/work experience and immigration status). Once eligible, you complete and submit the membership application form on the CARE Centre website — a staff member will review your application and contact you with next steps.

Yes! Even if you’re not actively job hunting, you’re welcome to attend. It’s a great opportunity to explore career options, learn about the nursing field, and network with other internationally educated nurses and employers.

No, interviews will not take place on-site. However, this is a rare opportunity to meet employers who hire nurses, submit your resume, gather information about opportunities, and potentially schedule interviews for a later date.

No, this event is in-person only. Attending in person gives you the best opportunity to connect directly with employers, ask questions face-to-face, and make a memorable impression—things that can’t be replicated virtually. Plus, you’ll get to network with other internationally educated nurses and explore resources available on-site.

This event is designed for Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs). Whether you’re just starting your journey to practice, looking to connect with employers, or exploring new career opportunities, this job fair is a great way to learn, network, and take the next step in your nursing career.

If you’re an employer looking to exhibit, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact us to learn more about exhibiting opportunities, connecting with qualified Internationally Educated Nurses, and showcasing your organization at the event.

CARE Centre for Internationally Educated Nurses is a not-for-profit professional organization dedicated to helping internationally educated nurses (IENs) become Registered Nurses (RNs) or Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) and re-establish their careers in the Canadian health care system. CARE Centre provides several programs and supports tailored to meet the needs of newcomer nurses at any stage of their journey.

The Supports, Training and Access to Regulated-employment Services (STARS) Program offers intensive, Ontario-focused nursing supports for internationally educated nurses. The STARS Program is funded by the Government of Ontario.

The Pre-Arrival and Post-Arrival Supports and Services Program (PASS) is a pan-Canadian program that helps internationally educated nurses prepare to work in the nursing profession, with supports before and after landing in Canada. The PASS Program is funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

These programs offer one-on-one case management to help IENs understand regulatory requirements, prepare for exams (such as CELBAN, NCLEX/CPNRE or IENCAP/OSCE), and build job search skills including resume development and interview practice. CARE Centre also delivers language and communication training, professional development workshops, nursing mentoring and networking opportunities, and observational job shadowing to help nurses successfully integrate into Canadian workplaces.

CARE Centre was founded in 2001 to address the challenges many internationally trained nurses face in navigating the regulatory and employment landscape in Ontario, and since then more than 7,000 nurses from over 140 countries have accessed its services.
