Requirements for Long-Term Placement

To qualify for our program, you must meet the following criteria:

• – Be a licensed registered nurse.
• – You must be a citizen of Canada. (a permanent resident status is not enough)
• – You need a minimum of two years of recent hospital experience
• – An updated and professional resume highlighting your qualifications and experience.
• – You will need a nursing license in New York.

Note: If you do not have your New York license, we assist you in obtaining it.

Get matched to a job of your dreams

After securing your New York nursing license, we will submit your resume to our most prestigious hospital partners. Typically, we will submit your resume, and they will review it. Then, they will schedule two interviews and hopefully come forward with a job offer.

Congrats! You’re approved!

Once you are approved, we will send you the contract and we can plan the next steps.

Note: In case you are rejected, no need to cry! We have many more opportunities for both short travel contracts and homecare.

Can I bring my spouse and children too?

Spouses and children of Canadian nurses living in the U.S. can obtain TD-dependent status, which authorizes them to live and study in the U.S. However, TD dependents are not eligible for work authorization.

Getting your Visa Screen

Once you are set on a job, you’ll need to apply for a VisaScreen through the appropriate channels. We will guide you through this process to ensure you submit everything correctly.

Documents Needed for Visa Screening:

• – Secondary school diploma or certificate
• – Validations of all nursing licenses and diplomas
• – Proof of passing the CGFNS Qualifying Exam® or the NCLEX-RN®
• – Complete academic records from all nursing programs attended
• – A passport-style photo in JPEG format
• – Evidence of English proficiency through an accepted exam or an exemption due to English-based professional education

Once you have all these documents ready, you can go onto the CGFNS website and complete the application process.

Coming to New York

Once accepted, you’ll receive a job offer letter that will help you secure your TN visa.

How to obtain a TN Visa

Canadian citizens have two options for applying for TN work authorization:

Application at a Port of Entry

An application can be submitted directly at a Port of Entry along the United States-Canada border, including specific Canadian airports that offer U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A CBP officer will review the TN work visa application in person and will either approve or deny it. If approved, the CBP officer will issue a paper I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, which serves as the official documentation of the Canadian nurse’s TN status.

Application with USCIS(Fees will apply)

Alternatively, an application can be submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at the Vermont Service Center. A USCIS officer will review the TN work visa application and either approve or deny it. If approved, USCIS will issue an approval notice, which the Canadian nurse must present to a CBP officer at a U.S. Port of Entry to gain admission to the U.S. under TN work visa status. The CBP officer will then issue a paper I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, confirming the nurse’s official TN status.

Note: Unlike Mexican citizens, Canadian citizens do not need to obtain a TN visa stamp in their passport from a U.S. Consulate.

Required documents for crossing the U.S. border include:

• – Diploma and transcripts
• – Passport
• – Proof of Canadian citizenship
• – New York nursing license
• – Visa screen documentation
• – Job offer letter (provided by us)
