Canadian Citizen work in the USA

[sonyah 0]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding someone who is a Canadian citizen and wanted to work in USA. Are there any special requirements set up as far as any type of permission for work for Canadian citizen in the USA? Please provide as much info as you can.

Thanks

To work in the US you must have a visa, to have a visa, generally you need an employer ready to offer you a job

As a Canadian the TN visa might fit, but that is only for a certain classification of occupations. What sort of job are you looking for?

Good luck

Guess so... she might need to check in regard to lic, not sure if she can start working right away.

Does she need to take any test etc. Coz for docs from other country have to meet additional requirement like taking some test and some hours residency before they can start working.

Canadians need permission (visa or legal permanent residency) to work in the US.

I saw on TV a few years ago that rural and underserved communities were recruiting doctors from Canada. The job comes with a work visa. Your friend may want to look into these types of programs.

I would look into the "J" visas. They are usualy good for 2 years. Also there is an entrepreneur type of speedy green card way. If he has a million dollars to invest he can do that. He could also look into opening a dentist office in the USA, and have it based out of Canada.

A licensed dentist qualifies for a TN visa.
