Nova Scotia made a working offer to refugees
The shortage of medical workers in the province forced the authorities to look for alternative means. So they went to a refugee camp to look for them.
The local government, together with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, other organisations and volunteers, visited the Kenyan refugee camp. As part of a federal program, they interviewed the local residents there and selected people with relevant qualifications.
As a result, 65 Kenyans received nominal invitations to work as continuing care assistants.
The government states that the selection was made according to the skills spelt out in the regional and provincial immigration programs.
The duties of the new assistants include:
- help in everyday life;
- nursing at home and in medical institutions.
But there is no specific timeframe or date when the selected Kenyans will be able to start work. The approximate deadline is mid-2023.
