It aims to investigate the association between internationally educated nurses' sociodemographic characteristics and their successful integration into the nursing workforce in Canada.DesignCross‐sectional and secondary data survey questions.MethodsThis study adopts a cross‐sectional and secondary data analysis, utilising data from IENs who engaged with internationally educated nurse initiatives such as the Creating Access to Regulated Employment Centre for Internationally Educated Nurses (CARE) or initiated the registration process with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) in 2015 and after.ResultsThere were 259 participants, with 155 participants from primary data collection and 104 participants from secondary data sources. Quantitative analysis reveals that most participants are females, under 40 years old, educated in English and hold at least a bachelor's degree in nursing, with 47.3% of internationally educated nurses migrated from India and the Philippines. Significant associations were identified between internationally educated nurses having CARE membership and the currency of nursing practice and their successful outcomes.ConclusionRecognising and addressing the unique needs of IENs is essential for their successful integration into the Canadian healthcare workforce, thereby ensuring resilience and cultural competence in nursing for the future.Implications for the ProfessionThis analysis highlights the impact of sociodemographic characteristics of internationally educated nurses on their successful outcomes and underscores the diversity and richness they bring to the healthcare landscape. Since internationally educated nurses continue to experience challenges while integrating into the Canadian nursing workforce, these findings have substantial implications for nursing policy, practice, professional development and research.
