The job outlook for Licensed Practical Nurses in Canada continues to be positive. The Canadian Healthcare sector is the fastest growing, with licensed practical nurses and registered nurses being some of the most in demand.  The shortage of registered nurses and the addition of procedures which previously only RNs could perform, has greatly improved employment opportunities for LPNs.

Both the Federal and Provincial governments have raised their priority of Canadian’s Health Care needs and Canadian colleges are investing more in the educational programs of practical nursing to meet the needs of an aging population.  The shift from hospital to community care for chronic patients means that employment opportunities will be increasingly more available in community based nursing and residential care facilities. 

Canada has projected that the need for licensed practical nurses in Canada is expected to increase sharply in the next few years.  Openings will primarily be for positions that are being vacated by retiring practical nurses.
