Canadian RN applying for TN visa

World Immigration

Published

Anyone from Canada recently apply for a TN visa? I will be applying for the first time at a Canadian-US Port of Entry and am having a difficult time finding a concrete list of required documents I will need to present. Some websites say I will need a visa screen/GCFNS certification, as well as a nursing license for the state I will be practicing in, while others do not mention these at all. To confuse matters even more, some also mention a credentials evaluation. Is this the same as a visa screen? When I looked on the GCFNS website they seem to be different, but it would be so expensive to pay for both!

If my employer filed an I-129 petition form, would I still need to pay for these assessments?

I would so greatly appreciate any feedback from those of you who have recently and successfully gotten their TN visa! Thank you!

Right. Which State are you going? Are you required to have Visa Screen?

Once you are ready to cross the border to obtain your TN visa. Your employer will send you the “Employment Letter”.

I’m still waiting for my visa screen certificate & State nursing license.

When are you starting? I am happy for you.

May be you have the employment letter already. Did the hospital lawyer prepared it? Like the start date and end date is specified, duties and responsibilities & what not.

Its an open contract, minimum 1 year. It says in the contract. Usually standard contracts doesnt have start date. But i will show the email from my agency the start date of my orientation.
