N.S. is expanding a fast-tracked immigration program to include international students who want to become paramedics and pharmacy technicians, in its latest move to address health worker shortages. The province is allowed to nominate immigration candidates for federal approval and in this case it's hoping international students trained in N.S. as paramedics and pharmacy technicians will settle in the province. N.S.’ accelerated immigration program already includes nurse aides, orderlies and continuing-care assistants.
