A Short History of Toronto
People have lived in the Toronto region on the north shore of Lake
Ontario for almost 11,000 years since the first indigenous people moved
here from the south after the ice age. Additionally, it was geographically well
positioned to serve the commercial needs of a newly-settling hinterland at a
time of expanding trade and improving transportation.
Industrialization, beginning modestly in the mid-19th century, expanded
greatly after Confederation, and contributed significantly to shaping the
city's environment and prosperity. By 1901, the industrial, commercial,
financial, and institutional centre had a population of 208,000, which rose to
667,500 by 1941.
A great shift in the spirit of the community began with the numerous
waves of immigrants after 1945. By 2001, Toronto had become one of the
most multicultural cities on the planet, where 152 languages and dialects
were spoken in an atmosphere of comparative harmony. According to that
year's census, more than half of Toronto's 2.5 million residents were born
outside Canada, and a million people belonged to visible minorities.
Today's Toronto is a large and complex urban centre. Like any similarly
large city it faces important challenges and competing opinions on how to
face them. At the same time, Toronto continues to flourish as a
tremendously exciting city, embracing a strong and prospering economy,
rich cultural underpinnings, and retaining its long heritage as a
comparatively safe, orderly, and inclusive community, where working and
living conditions are among the very best to be had on the planet.
Canada’s Health Care System
Canada has a predominantly publicly financed, privately delivered health care
system that is best described as a network of ten provincial and two territorial
health insurance plans. The system, commonly known as Medicare, provides
access to universal and comprehensive coverage for necessary hospital, inpatient and out-patient physician services.
The system can be referred to as a "national" health insurance system in that
the individual provincial/territorial hospital and medical insurance plans are
linked through adherence to national principles set at the federal level. These
principles are laid out in the Canada Health Act, which includes the national
standards for health care. The federal government also manages the financial
aspect of health care (which consists primarily of fiscal transfers to the
provinces) and direct functions such as health care delivery to groups such as
veterans, the military, and native Canadians living on reserves. In addition,
programs such as disease prevention and health promotion are also managed
at the federal level. However, the specific management and delivery of health
services is the responsibility of each individual province or territory. Provinces
and territories plan and evaluate the provision of hospital care, physician health
care services, some aspects of prescription care, and public health.
How the System Works
Canada's health care system relies extensively on primary care physicians
(family physicians and general practitioners), who make up about 60 percent of
all active physicians in Canada.
However, the majority of health care professionals in Canada are not
employed by the government. Most doctors are private practitioners who work
in independent or group practices and enjoy a high degree of autonomy. Some
doctors work in community health centers, hospital-based group practices, or in
affiliation with hospital out-patient departments.
When Canadians need medical care, in most instances, they go to the
physician or clinic of their choice and present the health insurance card issued
to all eligible residents of a province. They do not pay directly for insured
hospital and physicians' services, nor are they required to fill out forms for
insured services.
In addition to insured hospital and physician services, provinces and
territories also provide public coverage for other health services that remain
outside the national heal the insurance framework for certain groups of the
population (e.g., elderly, children and welfare recipients). These supplementary
health benefits often include prescription drugs, dental care, vision care,
assistive equipment and appliances (prostheses, wheelchairs, etc.) to
independent living and services of allied health professionals such as
podiatrists and chiropractors. Canadians must pay privately for these non-
According to the most recent Statistics Canada data, 21 percent of Canadians
encounter difficulties when they need to see a specialist; 13 percent, in
receiving non-emergency services; and 16 percent, in having diagnostic tests
done – a total of 1.1 million Canadians.
Long waiting times and the rationing of access to health services are symptoms
of a costly health care system in need of a cure. As we head to the polls,
Canadians and political leaders continue to debate the question of changes to
Canada’s universal public health care system and the proposed privatization of
some specialized services. In 2004, the federal government agreed to transfer
$41 billion to the provinces for health care spending over the next ten years. A
top priority at that time was more family doctors.
Are you getting the medical care you need? In our May Reader’s Digest we
highlight findings that many Canadian patients are not getting the proactive
tests and treatments that will keep them healthy and out of hospital. The result
is too many unnecessary heart attacks and strokes, uncontrolled diabetes and
other health problems.
Health Canada is the Federal department responsible for helping Canadians
maintain and improve their health, while respecting individual choices and
circumstances.
What is Health Canada's Goal?
According to our mission and vision, Health Canada's goal is
for Canada to be among the countries with the healthiest
people in the world.
To achieve this goal, Health Canada:
Relies on high-quality scientific research as the basis for our
work;
Conducts ongoing consultations with Canadians to determine
how to best meet their long-term health care needs;
Communicates information about disease prevention to protect
Canadians from avoidable risks;
Encourages Canadians to take an active role in their health,
such as increasing their level of physical activity and eating
well.
Family Violence
Family Violence is abusive behaviour that can be physical,
sexual or psychological. It can also take the form of physical or
emotional neglect. Family violence occurs in relationships of
kinship, intimacy, dependency or trust. Individuals can be
abused regardless of their age, gender, cultural background,
education, income or place of residence.
The National Clearinghouse on Family Violence (NCFV) is
Canada’s national resource centre for information about family
violence. The NCFV collects, develops and disseminates
resources on prevention, protection and treatment.
REGULATED HEALTH
PROFESSIONS ACT, 1991
major elements of the RHPA:
•entry to practice
•client relations
•quality assurance
•scope of practice
•prosessional misconduct
•public participation and openness
Canadians cherish their health care system. Health care is viewed as a right,
and nobody is denied medical or hospital care because they are unable to pay.
Both patients and physicians experience substantial freedom of action within
the system: patients are free to chose their doctors and to visit more than one
doctor for the same complaint. Physicians are free to prescribe treatments and
to admit patients to hospitals with little scrutiny.
In the public system, queue-jumping is allowed based on medical need, not on
the patient's ability to pay. Yet a patient in Ontario, Canada, jumped a six-month
queue for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - high technology diagnostic
procedure-by using her husband's benefits plan and paying $600. The Ontario
Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) prohibits charging for (or selling private
insurance to cover) medically necessary services that are covered by OHIP.
Nevertheless, the private insurer used by the husband's company arranged for
the MRI within a few days at a Toronto hospital where there is normally a six to
nine-month wait for non-urgent MRls. Said the patient's doctor, "If she got an
MRI because she could pay for it, when it's a service to be covered by OHIP,
that's just not right. She needed an MRI, but she didn't need it any more than
anyone else I refer." The MRI patient queue-jumped because her husband's
employer provided private health insurance and she had $600. Other patients
had to wait.
Waiting Times
The initial appointment to see the specialist was available within
three to four weeks. But there were intriguing differences in the
waiting times for surgery. For surgeons who operated only in
public hospitals, the prospective "patients" were told that they
would have to wait from two to eight weeks for cataract surgery;
the average was six weeks. In contrast, the waiting times for
surgery at private clinics were from one day to four weeks.
However, the waiting times were lengthy-up to a year for surgery
performed in public hospitals by surgeons who operated in both
public and private sector settings.

Registering as a Nurse in Ontario
This document was updated in collaboration with the Access to Professions
and Trades Unit, Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration in November 2005.
Requirements may have changed by the time you apply. Please contact the
College of Nurses of Ontario before you complete your application.
Nursing in Ontario
The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO or College) is the regulatory body for
nursing in Ontario. It is not an academic institution or school.
In Ontario, nurses are self- regulating health professionals. Self-regulation is
a privilege granted to professions that have the ability to put the public interest
first. Self regulation means that the profession governs itself through the
College and individual members.
CNO’s role is to protect the public’s right to quality nursing services by
providing leadership to the nursing profession. It does this by establishing
requirements for becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical
Nurse (RPN), establishing and enforcing the standards of practice, managing
quality assurance programs to help nurses maintain competence throughout
their careers.
Within the nursing profession, only RNs and RPNs are authorised to perform
the procedures in the three controlled acts authorised to nursing.
Only those with a Certificate of Registration and a current annual payment
card from CNO can practise as a nurse in Ontario, or use the titles ”nurse”,
“Registered Nurse,” or “Registered Practiced Nurse.”
Expectations of Nurses
In Ontario, nursing one profession with two categories – (RNs)
and (RPNs). RNs and RPNs study from the same body of nursing
knowledge. Programs for RN students are longer and more in
depth, while RPN students study for a shorter time, resulting in a
more focused body of knowledge. This difference in knowledge
influences the level of a nurse’s autonomy, which is affected by
the complexity of the client’s condition.
On January 1, 2005, the basic education requirement for
registration as an RN or RPN changed. All new RNs must have a
baccalaureate degree or its equivalent and all RPNs must have a
diploma from an approved Ontario nursing or practical nursing
program or its equivalent.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
guide the practice and conduct of the nursing profession in
Ontario
the seven professional standards reflect the thinking, doing and
being aspects of nursing
I ACCOUNTABILITY
- Each nurse is accountable to the public and responsible for
ensuring that her/his practice and conduct meets legislative
requirements and the standards of the profession.
II CONTINUING COMPETENCE
- Each nurse maintains and continuously improves her/his
competence by participating in the College of Nurses of Ontario's
Quality Assurance (QA) Program.
III
ETHICS
- Each nurse understands, upholds and promotes the values and
beliefs described in the Ethical Framework.
IV
KNOWLEDGE
- Each nurse possesses, through basic education and continuing
learning, knowledge relevant to her/his professional practice.
V KNOWLEDGE APPLICATION
- Each nurse continually improves the application of professional
knowledge.
VI
LEADERSHIP
- Each nurse demonstrates her/his leadership by providing,
facilitating and promoting the best possible care/service to the
public.
VII
RELATIONSHIPS
Each nurse establishes and maintains respectful, collaborative,
therapeutic and professional relationships.
CLASSES OF REGISTRATION
There are six classes of registration: General, Temporary, Special
Assignment, Extended, Retired and Transitional
General Class
This is the most common class of registration. It is held for a member's
lifetime, and an annual fee is required to maintain a current Certificate of
Registration.
Temporary Class
People who have met all of the registration requirements, except passing the
Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) or the Canadian Practical
Nurse Registration Examination
(CPNRE), can still practise as a registered member. If you’re eligible to write
the exam, or are waiting for the exam results, have evidence of recent practice
one year from the date of your application and have a written offer of
employment, you may apply for temporary registration.
Temporary registration is granted for a six-month period and restricts practice
to a specific employment setting. If you fail the exam while holding temporary
registration, the Certificate of Registration will be revoked. You are not eligible
for temporary registration if you have previously failed the registration
examination. Once you pass the exam and have met all other requirements for
registration, you are eligible for General Class registration.
Special Assignment Class
This is a short-term, non-renewable registration for individuals, usually from
outside Ontario, who have an appointment or assignment as an RN or RPN
with an approved facility, and who do not plan to stay in Ontario for more than
one year. People in this class of registration can only practise within the scope
of her or his appointment and under defined terms, limits and conditions.
Extended Class
Extended Class Registration
Only RNs who have obtained advanced education and passed the Extended
Class (EC) examination can join this class. RN(EC)s have an expanded scope
of practice in the areas of assessment, diagnosis, prescription of tests and
treatments, and health promotion
Transitional Class
The Transitional Class will allow members of other Canadian nursing
regulatory bodies who have graduated after January 1, 2005, and who do not
meet the new education requirements, to register and work in Ontario for a
limited time while pursuing further nursing studies to meet the entry-to-practice
education requirement. RNs have four years and RPNs have two years to
complete the further studies to meet the requirement.
The College of Nurses of Ontario
The College includes the Registration and Examination Team, The Customer
Service Team, and the Registration Committee. The Committee makes
decisions about applicants who do not meet all of the registration requirements.
The College will do the following:
set (through government legislation) the registration requirements
provide information about the registration requirements and the assessment
process;
assess application and determine whether requirements are met;
inform applicants of the status of their application;
evaluate document, and when necessary, ask the applicant to request
additional information from schools, employers, or the regulatory body;
administer the national nursing exams;
issue Certificates of Registration; and
present applications that do not meet all the requirements to the Registration
Committee.
