Healthcare Jobs in Canada

Healthcare jobs in Canada range from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and care aides to medical lab technologists, pharmacy assistants and unit clerks. Demand is high in every province, in cities and small towns alike.

Many roles are regulated, which means you must be registered with the regulatory body in the province where you will work before you can use the job title. Support roles such as care aide or personal support worker usually need a college certificate rather than a licence. Shift work, weekends and casual or part-time lines are common starting points.
