The TN Visa is a non-immigrant visa category under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), granting citizens of Canada and Mexico the opportunity to work in the United States in specific professional occupations. Registered Nurses are among the eligible professions, making the TN Visa an excellent option for qualified nurses seeking employment opportunities in the U.S.

TN Visa Advantages:

Quick Processing: TN Visas can be processed faster than other work visas.
Flexibility: TN Visas are initially granted for up to three years and can be renewed indefinitely in three-year increments, providing long-term employment stability.
Spouse and Dependents: Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can accompany you to the U.S. under a TD visa status.
No Cap: Unlike other visa categories, there is no annual cap on the number of TN Visas issued, providing more opportunities for qualified professionals.

Step 1

Interview & Return Contract

Once we receive your signed agreement, we’ll collect the documents that must be submitted for the State Board application. State Board approval is required to take the NCLEX.

Step 2

State Board Approved

After your State Board application is approved, you can start studying for the IELTS. We offer nurses a free review to help prepare for the exam.

Step 3

Pass the IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a requirement for all non-native English speakers who wish to study and/or work in the U.S. Most nurses take 2-3 months to prepare for and take the IELTS test. We provide a free review to help prepare for the exam.

Step 4

Take the NCLEX

After your 3-month review, you will be recommended to take the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination). You will take the exam at a nearby testing center.

Step 5

Visa Screen Certificate Received

Once you pass the NCLEX and IELTS, these are submitted to CGFNS (
Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools) who then retrieves your transcripts directly from your school.

Step 6

TN Visa Issued

With the Visa Screen Certificate, Offer Letter from the hospital, and your Interstaff Contract in hand, you arrive at the Embassy appointment where your TN visa is issued.
