OPSWA is one of Synergy Lab’s partners, specifically in relation to the TalentTrack program. OPSWA’s primary focus is achieving title protection for personal support workers across Ontario.
DaSilva believes that support workers in Ontario are facing a crisis because they have been forced to compete against new titles constantly being generated by the industry and government, which erodes the value of their work and puts pressure on recruitment. OPSWA works to establish regulatory parity for these workers.
The value of Synergy Lab’s partnership with OPSWA lies in protecting both the immigrant transitioning their career to Canada, as well as the employer who decides to hire them. Joining OPSWA is recommended as a best practice to ensure that workers know their rights while working in Canada.
For international nurses, joining OPSWA provides advocacy, liability insurance, access to professional liability coverage, 24-hour legal advice, continuing education, and access to employers when they decide to work as PSWs in Canada.
There are many job vacancies for PSWs across Canada, making this collaboration a powerful tool for internationals with a passion for hands-on personal care who are interested in transitioning their careers to Canada.

About TalentTrack
Synergy Lab’s TalentTrack program was built for Canadian employers. Working directly with companies who are interested in hiring foreign workers, our goal is to help alleviate existing labour shortages across the country, while promoting and educating on how to foster a culture-centric, diverse workplace.
As experts in our field, we know a thing or two when it comes to entering the Canadian market as an international, whether as an entrepreneur or professional looking for a new career opportunity. Backed by years of experience in this space, TalentTrack helps guide Canadian employers through the often-cumbersome process of hiring international talent.
