| Under NAFTA, if you
are a citizen of Canada or Mexico you can obtain
a TN-1 work visa from any entry port in the US.
You will need to have an offer of employment from
a US Hospital or a staffing agency. |
| |
| You will also need
to have a current nursing license to work in the
US. All fees paid in the licensing and testing process
shall be refunded by GNO upon passing the NCLEX.
You will need to contact the state in which you
want to license. |
| |
| In certain states,
it is permitted to work on your Canadian license
by reciprocity. |
| |
| The TN-1 visa is good
for a period of one year. You can renew your visa
every year as long as you are employed as a nurse
in the US. |
| |
| On your port of entry,
you shall be issued a form (I-94), which classifies
you as TN. You can then present this form to any
US Social Security Office for a Social Security
number (card). |
