  1. They want to be on par with their American counterparts, but in a PUBLIC system? I thought they didn't want a PRIVATE system? So...$100 CDN per hour(which would be equivalent to what American nurses make per hour converted to CDN dollars). They want international nurses to be AUTOMATICALLY converted which means what? Newly trained or in training Canadian BORN nurses get screwed? A current Canadian nurse, with OT, with over a decade of experience, can expect to make about $100,000 + CDN per year before taxes. Fact. Many retire before 60. I would never call nursing an easy job. But not all nurses or doctors or surgeons are created equal and they know this. Apparently they also want standards LOWERED to increase numbers. That's really scary.
