End of recruitment of Moroccan nurses in Canada

Quebec has decided to no longer recruit Moroccan nurses, thus giving in to pressure from the Moroccan government.

Recruitment stops in all African countries, except Tunisia for ethical reasons, learns Radio-Canadaspecifying that Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco are no longer among Quebec’s recruitment destinations. Souriya Otmani, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to Canada, expresses her satisfaction: “By acting in this way, it seems to me that Quebec has truly made a thoughtful, fair, ethical and equitable decision. » This decision will have a positive impact on public hospitals in Morocco. While “dispensaries are built and equipped, but cannot function because medical and nursing staff are lacking. The lives of thousands of people are squarely at stake”, “Nurses from Morocco (…) leave their country by the hundreds, even thousands each year, to go to Canada, Europe or Arab countries”, explains the Moroccan diplomat.
