Does Toronto hire non Filipino trained nurses?

[Xyrodon]

Hi everyone,

I'm a new RN (4 months in), I did by Kinesiology degree from York University, and now I have by Nursing degree from University of New Brunswick (Collab with Humber college). Most hospitals I have done placements in as well as my consolidation only had IENs from the Philippines. I am not from there, I am Canadian educated and I only speak English, not Tagalog. Most hospitals it seems mostly hire IEN's. Is there a reason for this?
