Canadian premier to sign recruitment agreement with RP
Gary Doer, the premier of the province of Manitoba is arriving in Manila
to sign a memorandum of understanding that will strengthen cooperation
between Manitoba and the Philippine government in the fields of human
resource development and employment.
Labor Secretary Arturo D. Brion said the memorandum of agreement
shall also outline the procedure for the hiring and deployment of Filipino
workers to province of Manitoba.
Manitoba needs manpower and skills like truck drivers, welders,
machinists, boilermakers, sheet metal workers, glaziers, pipe fitters,
mechanics, plasterers, drywall installers, carpenters, cabinetmakers,
bricklayers and stone masons.
Under the MOU, Filipino workers may enter Manitoba either as temporary
foreign worker or as a permanent resident, excluding those who are
seeking to work as live-in caregivers or those who are already approved
as Manitoba Provincial Nominees.
The POEA will register and accredit employers in Manitoba to recruit and
hire Filipino workers through Philippine licensed recruitment agencies.
Applicants for Manitoba have to pass the medical health examination
required by Citizenship and Immigration Canada for admission to Canada
as a temporary or permanent resident; must not have an outstanding
custody or divorce dispute that might render them ineligible to become a
a temporary or permanent resident of Canada; must have satisfactory
English language proficiency; must not have a criminal record; and have
the skills required by the employer.
The agreement prohibits recruitment agencies from charging placement
fees from workers. Employers will pay the cost of hiring the OFW
instead.
Secretary Brion and Premier Doer will sign the MOU on February 8, 2008
at Manila Hotel.

Importing Nurses - Is It Wise?
Is recruiting foreign labor a wise solution to help curb the national nursing shortage crisis or just another move by the employing health care industry to import cheap labor? According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, a 21 percent increase in the need for nurses is projected nationwide from 1998 to 2008 and it could lead to a shortage of more than one million nurses by the end of this decade. This has created tremendous opportunities for healthcare staffing agencies, which recruit hundreds of nurses from India each year earning millions in revenue.
I know this much - the domestic workforce doesn't seem to share the same excitement about the profession as staffing agencies. Nurses' unions disagree with the premise that nurses from abroad will help solve the problem. Nursing organizations are voicing a deep concern that foreign nurses are not being incorporated into the unions upon entering the workforce. And this means hospitals and the like can hire foreign workers far cheaper than domestic nurses plus they don't complain about working conditions, because it's better than their home country. The result is a national deterioration of the nursing wage, which affects all nurses. "There is no shortage of nurses in Massachusetts," says David Schildmeier, spokesperson for the Massachusetts Nurses Association. "There is a shortage of nurses willing to work in hospitals under current conditions, assigned to too many patients, that is why people are leaving." more...

Philippines offers nurse transfusion
MANILA, Philippines – At 47, electrical engineer Victorio Mangalindan is back in school, studying for a new career as a nurse. His classmates include three lawyers and 10 accountants.
"And there are so many doctors!" he said.
Mr. Mangalindan says the foul air and water of Manila will only get worse as his 2-year-old son grows up. He wants to raise the boy in the U.S., and "the surest way to get a working permit or a visa is nursing."
Many Texas hospitals would be glad to have him. There are 28,000 job openings for nurses in the state. Texas colleges and universities are graduating just 6,000 nurses a year. By 2010, the federal government estimates, Texas will have a shortfall of almost 42,000 nurses. The nationwide shortage is expected to be 10 times as large.more....
