Phillip

I was born in the Philippines and lived in Thailand for eight years before coming to Canada.

I come from a family of medical professionals and I too was drawn to a career helping people. I wanted to give back to Manitoba, a place where I had been received with open arms.

At nearly 40, I was the oldest in my class and school was a bit tougher for me as I analyzed everything in my first language of Tagalog before saying it in English.

It was a challenging course but I told my wife and my son, Hans who was 10 years old at that time, that I would pass. I didn’t want to be stuck in a job I didn’t like, I wanted to be a paramedic. That was my inspiration and I’ve never looked back.

“I was drawn to nursing because of the holistic approach to care.

I wanted to help people through their health situations, comfort them, and support them as they navigate resources in their community.

It has been such a privilege to be welcomed into different communities and health care teams to share the knowledge I’ve gained over the years.”

“This is a place of opportunity for your personal and professional growth and development, whether in your education, career, or personal life. As an immigrant, I am proud and grateful for what my family and I have achieved and contributed to the community here in Canada.

As a nurse, I feel privileged for the opportunities I’ve had to contribute my knowledge and perspectives to the improvement of the health-care system and the best possible care for Manitobans.”

Currently, I am working as a certified health care aide while I work towards my nursing license through the Internationally Educated Nurse (IEN) program. As a health care professional in Manitoba, the doors of opportunity are wide open for you. Stable employment, guaranteed hours and a decent wage. I encourage you to come to Manitoba, Canada and experience all that the province has to offer, such as good cost of living, beautiful outdoor landscapes and white Christmases like in the movies!

“It’s the patients, that relationship with them.

Knowing that I helped encourage somebody, anybody, to push through and find their strength in a time where it’s near impossible to, because it’s easier to stay in the dark than it is to see the light.”

“I’ve been a health-care aide for the past 24 years and would not change a thing.

From the smiles on patient’s faces to the hugs I’ve received, it has always made me feel grateful for having the opportunity to work in such a fulfilling field.”

Abdallah

“As a nurse, this is a province where you can currently buy a home on a single income, something that is becoming less of a reality in many other parts of Canada.

The cost of living is noticeably cheaper here.

And the lake country here is incredible! It’s close to the city and easily accessible but still so peaceful, serene and feels untouched.”
