TN NAFTA PROFESSIONALS  website.  Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico exist allowing one to stay in the US up to 3 years as non-immigrant.  Canadian citizens are generally eligible for admission as nonimmigrants without a visa -- process at above link;  just need to show a hiring letter at boarder.

Are you seeking employment in an Illinois facility?  Chicago area major teaching hospitals might be your best bet as most likely have experience with visa requirement for interns and residents. 

Best wishes in your job search.

Hi. Initially, what I did was to email HR directly inquiring if they hire Canadian RNs and aware of TN1 Status. I was at least connected to a recruiter who said they did. Then they encouraged me to apply for a job position & get connected w the hiring manager. In my experience, they usually have Immigration Specialist & inhouse or contracted Lawyer to process such TN requirements.

No unfortunately. I have been only in ME/NH and didn't try to apply anywhere else. Try inquiring - Level 1 Trauma centers & teaching hospitals as suggested above.
