Citizens of Canada and Mexico who want to work in the United States can apply for a TN Visa under The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It is possible to work under the Physician category as a teaching or a research physician.
The complete list of NAFTA professions you can find here.
Physicians work on treating different injuries and illnesses. They track medical history, perform various examinations, define medical therapy and prescribe medicines, run diagnostics and do counseling about healthy lifestyles. More information about general job duties is available in the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The previous agreement between Canada and the United States offered Canadians the possibility to practice direct patient care activities. However, that is not the case under NAFTA, and a Physician is unable to practice medicine or to perform patient care activities under the TN visa. This category applies only to the positions of teaching in medical schools or research programs.
However, it is possible to be engaged partially in patients care activities under the condition that this activity is crucial for the Physicians teaching or research work and that patient care activities take no more than 10% of time spent on job duties.
Additionally, the decision is made based on several factors such as compensation for medical services, how much the salary is offered in teaching or research, how many regular patients will be there, etc.
Eligibility to obtain a TN visa as a Physician seeks from petitioner to fulfill some educational requirements. For details about required education, we can refer to the OOH. Petitioner has to obtain and provide evidence of one of the following:
- Doctor of Medicine (M.D.)
- Doctor en Medicina
- State / Provincial license.
State or a provincial license presents any document issued by a state, provincial, or federal government, as the case may be, or under its authority, but not by a local government, that permits a person to be engaged in a regulated activity or profession.
States may have different license regulations, in which case the petitioner has to provide the state-required license.
Additional requirements that TN nonimmigrants have to submit are:
- Proof of Mexican or Canadian citizenship (passport);
- A proof of the job offer written as the letter of support by the employer, with all job details;
- A proof that a nonimmigrant does not intend to stay in the U.S. after the TN visa expires.
How to seek admission as a TN nonimmigrant?
Canadian citizens should apply with all required documentation to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the U.S. Port of Entry. They are not required to obtain a visa first. It is also possible to apply at a pre-flight inspection or an airport after arriving in the United States. The decision is immediate.
On the other hand, Mexican citizens should apply at the U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico. After the TN visa is approved, they can seek admission at the U.S. Port of Entry. Both Canadian and Mexican citizens can file the online I-129 petition with USCIS.
If Physicians want to work full time at direct patient care, they should consider applying for an H-1B visa instead of a TN visa.
Citizens of Canada and Mexico can work in the United States under The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This treaty allows petitioners to seek admission for TN Visa under certain occupation categories. One of the suitable occupations is a Registered Nurse.
The complete list of NAFTA professions you can find here.
Registered Nurses work on providing and managing patient care. Guidance for determining general job duties is in the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Typical duties are:
- Get familiar with the patients` conditions,
- Document medical history and observations,
- Distribute prescribed medicines and medical treatments,
- Participate in care planning,
- Communicate and cooperate with other healthcare individuals,
- Participate in diagnostic tests and analysis,
- Provide information for patients and families on how to behave during illness or injuries.
To qualify for admission to obtain a TN visa as a Registered Nurse, the petitioner should fulfill some educational requirements. Petitioner has to obtain and to be able to provide evidence of one of the following:
- State or Provincial License; or
- Licenciatura Degree.
State or a provincial license presents any document issued by a state, provincial, or federal government, as the case may be, or under its authority, but not by a local government, that permits a person to be engaged in a regulated activity or profession.
Additionally, petitioners have to obtain a Health Care Worker (Visa Screen) certificate, approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for credential validations. Verification refers to education, all licenses, registrations, diplomas, experience, and English proficiency.
Optionally, nurses can provide a certified statement from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or verification that the applicant has passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). If the petitioner provides an alternative certified statement CGFNS, he or she is exempt from the English language requirement.
Additional requirements that TN nonimmigrants have to submit are:
- Proof of Mexican or Canadian citizenship (valid passport);
- A proof of the offer of employment written as a letter of support, with all job details, such as title, description, and salary;
- A proof that a nonimmigrant does not intend to stay in the U.S. after the TN visa expires.
How to seek admission as a TN nonimmigrant?
Canadian citizens should apply with all required documentation to the officer of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the U.S. Port of Entry. They are not required to obtain a visa first. It is also possible to apply at a pre-flight inspection or an airport after arriving in the United States. The decision is immediate.
On the other hand, Mexican citizens should apply at the U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico. After the TN visa is approved, they can seek admission at the U.S. Port of Entry. Both Canadian and Mexican citizens can file the online I-129 petition with USCIS.
What else is to know when applying for a TN Visa for a Registered Nurse?
If the petitioner has a spouse or minor children, they can also apply for TN visa status and join the petitioner in the United States. Required documentation is:
- A valid passport
- A proof of their relationship to the nurse (marriage certificate or birth certificate)
In theory, nurse practitioners fall under the Registered Nurse category. However, it is a common issue that border inspectors deny their application for TN visa status. Therefore, we recommend preparing additional documentation and strong arguments on how the TN visa eligibility requirements are met in a specific case.
The TN category Medical Laboratory Technologists permits Canadian and Mexican professionals to work in the United States under The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The complete list of NAFTA professions you can find here.
Medical Laboratory Technologists also wear the name Clinical Laboratory Technologists. They analyze different substances, like body fluids and tissues. Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor offers guidance for general job duties under the Clinical Laboratory Technologists and Technicians category.
Typical duties are:
- Perform analysis on different samples and record the results
- Analyze blood samples intended for transfusion
- Uses laboratory equipment in the analysis process
- Document the patient’s medical record based on the results
- Communicate with other healthcare professionals
A TN visa for Medical Laboratory Technologist can be sought if a petitioner fulfills some educational requirements. For details about required education, we can refer to the OOH.
Petitioner has to obtain and provide evidence of one of the following:
- Bachelor’s degree or a Licenciatura Degree.
- Post-Secondary Diploma or Post-Secondary Certificate, in which case the petitioner has to obtain three years of experience.
Post-Secondary Diploma represents proof of qualifications given by an accredited post-secondary institution in Canada or the U.S. to a TN nonimmigrant who had not less than two years of post-secondary education.
On the other hand, a Post-Secondary Certificate is given to a nonimmigrant by an accredited post-secondary institution by Mexico’s federal or state government. The Certificate is available for a TN nonimmigrant who had not less than two years of post-secondary education. Also, it can be issued if the federal or state government recognizes the academic institution or if the institution is established by federal or state law.
Additionally, the petitioner who wants to work in the United States as a healthcare professional has to earn a Health Care Worker (Visa Screen) certificate issued by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) for five years. The VisaScreen requirement has caused a lot of confusion in determining the TN visa admission and the question of which professions are required to obtain the Health Care Worker certificate under the Medical Technologists category. Hence, the CGFNS had to define this rule applied only to the “medical laboratory generalists.”
Additional requirements that TN nonimmigrants have to submit are:
- Proof of Mexican or Canadian citizenship (passport);
- A proof of the job offer written as the letter of support by the employer, with all job details;
- Proof that a nonimmigrant does not intend to stay in the U.S. after the TN visa expires.

On the other hand, Mexican citizens should apply at the U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico. After the TN visa is approved, they can seek admission at the U.S. Port of Entry. Both Canadian and Mexican citizens can file the online I-129 petition with USCIS.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) provides Canadian and Mexican citizens opportunities to engage professionally in business activities under certain occupations. One of the available categories under which nonimmigrants can seek a TN Visa is a Pharmacist.
The complete list of NAFTA professions you can find here.
Pharmacists work with patients on dispensing prescription medications and teaching them how to use those medications safely. We use guidance from the regulations written in the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor to define pharmacists’ general job duties. Some of those duties are:
- Make sure that patients get a proper amount of medication
- Make sure that it is safe for the patient to use prescriptions due to his or her health condition and other used drugs at that moment
- Inform patients how to use medicine and warn them about potential side effects
- Perform vaccinations
- Inform patients about healthy lifestyles
- Work with insurance forms and insurance companies
- Monitor the performance of technicians and interns
- Administration work
- Educating healthcare subjects about medication therapies
There are different types of pharmacists, such as Community pharmacists, Clinical pharmacists, Consultant pharmacists, and Pharmaceutical industry pharmacists.
What are the educational requirements?
It is necessary to have one of the following educational requirements to be eligible to obtain a TN visa as a Pharmacist:
- Bachelor’s degree or Licenciatura degree
Degree type is determined based on OOH, where it stated that it has to be in the Pharmacy field or a closely related field.
- State or Provincial License
State or a provincial license presents any document issued by a state, provincial, or federal government, as the case may be, or under its authority, but not by a local government, that permits a person to be engaged in a regulated activity or profession.
Additional requirements that TN nonimmigrants have to submit are:
- Proof of Mexican or Canadian citizenship (passport);
- A proof of the job offer written as the letter of support by the employer, with all job details;
- A proof that a nonimmigrant does not intend to stay in the U.S. after the TN visa expires.

On the other hand, Mexican citizens should apply at the U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico. After the TN visa is approved, they can seek admission at the U.S. Port of Entry. Both Canadian and Mexican citizens can file the online I-129 petition with USCIS.
What are the common issues?
All states have their requirements for licenses. If a petitioner does not have a license of a particular state, a border inspector can bring the decision to deny the petition. However, it is possible to obtain TN visa status as a Pharmacist first and then, afterward, to obtain the requisite state license, which is stated in the Hrinyak Memo.
A TN visa is designed to allow certain professionals from Canada and Mexico – NAFTA professionals, to work in the United States.
This article will explain how teachers working in colleges or universities from Canada and Mexico can apply for TN nonimmigrant visas.
The complete list of NAFTA professions you can find here.
Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens can temporarily stay and engage professionally in various jobs in the United States. Teaching is one of the available occupations listed in the NAFTA list since 1994.
The exceptional career possibilities in the United States have always made teaching assignments extremely attractive to foreign teachers. For teachers coming from Canada or Mexican, the TN visa offers a more straightforward way to go and work as a teacher in the United States. Teachers working in College or University are eligible to seek admission as TN visa holders. As you can conclude, the TN visa classification is not available to primary and secondary school teachers.
The TN visa category permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to initially seek temporary entry into the United States to work at one of the colleges or universities for up to three years.
To qualify for TN visa status as a College/University Teacher, you have to meet the following requirements:
- Bachelor’s (Baccalaureate) degree; or
- Licenciatura Degree.
Referring to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH), postsecondary teachers’ job duties are to instruct students in a wide variety of academic and technical subjects beyond the high school level. There is no guidance on the type of degrees or majors suitable for a particular TN occupational category under regulations governing TN visa status. We may lead you to publications such as the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Additional requirements that TN nonimmigrants have to submit are:
1. Proof of Mexican or Canadian citizenship (passport);
2. Proof of the job offer written as the employer’s letter of support, with all job details;
3. Proof that a nonimmigrant does not intend to stay in the U.S. after the TN visa expires.
As you could see, TN visa regulations state the TN visa classification for teachers only permits teaching at the postsecondary level. If you intend to come to the United States to teach at the elementary or secondary level, learn about the H-1B visa or J-1 visa.
Bear in mind that, due to reciprocity restrictions, Mexican nationals can only obtain TN visas in 1-year increments.
If you intend to bring your spouse and children under the age of 21 with you to the United States, you should also know that they, as dependents, may be eligible for TD nonimmigrant status and that they do not have to be citizens of Canada or Mexico. Still, if they are granted TD status, they won’t be allowed to work while in the United States, but they can study.
How to seek admission as a TN nonimmigrant?
Canadian citizens can apply with all required documentation to the officer of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the U.S. Port of Entry since they are not required to obtain a visa first. It is also possible to apply at a pre-flight inspection or an airport after arriving in the United States.
On the other hand, Mexican citizens should apply at the U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico. After the TN visa is approved, they can seek admission at the U.S. Port of Entry.
Both Canadian and Mexican citizens can file the online I-129 petition with USCIS.

Have you heard about NAFTA professionals? If you haven’t, let us explain what NAFTA is first. The North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA is created for special trade and economic relationships between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Based on this agreement, a TN visa is designed to allow certain professionals from Canada and Mexico – NAFTA professionals, to work in the United States. Of course, there are some requirements that a citizen from these countries has to meet to be eligible to apply for a TN nonimmigrant visa, but it is important to note that it allows you to engage in business activities at a professional level.

Who is eligible for a TN visa?

To be eligible to obtain a TN visa, there are several requirements that you need to meet.
1. Coming from Canada and Mexico
It’s reserved only for Canadian and Mexican citizens who intend to engage in business activities in the U.S. as professionals full-time or on a part-time basis. As we mentioned earlier, this TN visa is designed explicitly for Mexican and Canadian professionals. This means that immigrants coming from other countries and meeting some other requirements still cannot apply for it under any circumstances.
2. Not all professions are admissible:
When looking at TN visa requirements, you should first look at the NAFTA list, which comprises professions that can be granted the TN visa. Some of those, we mentioned earlier in the text, and you can also follow the provided links to learn more on how to obtain a TN visa as a NAFTA professional.
3. Having a valid job offer
The existing valid job offer from a U.S. employer awaiting for you who will be your sponsor is required. To come to the United States to work as a professional on a TN visa, you have to have an arranged job position in advance. In other words, using this visa to look for a job after you come to the United States is not an option.
4. Holding the required degree
You have to hold the required degree, licenses, and/or experience to perform the offered job.
5. Demonstrating intention not to stay in the United States
There needs to be a clear intention to depart the United States on completion of your authorized stay.

How long can you stay on a TN visa?

Current laws and regulations declare that as NAFTA professional you can be granted a TN visa for periods of up to three years. However, U.S. immigration officials can decide to allow you a shorter period of stay, focusing on how long your position in the United States will last.
Still, as an applicant for a TN visa, you have to establish “nonimmigrant intent.” This means that you are required to convince the U.S. immigration authorities that you do not have intentions to stay in the U.S. permanently and that you will eventually return to your home country.

What are the “90 Day Rule” means for TN Visa Holders

Since the TN visa is not a “dual intent” visa, you’re declaring an intention to leave before your visa expires when you enter the United States.
If the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers find out that you had lied when you entered the country, your green card application could be denied. To avoid that, you need to understand the period of time called the “90-day rule” used by immigration officers to determine whether the applicant was honest about their original reasons for coming to the United States.
How the 90-day rule works
Suppose you apply for a green card within the first 90 days of entering the United States. In that case, the U.S. government will presume that you “willfully misrepresented” your reason for coming — in other words, that you went to the United States intending to immigrate rather than to work temporarily under the terms of a TN visa.
But, if you apply for a green card more than 90 days after entering the United States, the officers will presume that your circumstances or intentions changed and that you did not “willfully misrepresent” your reasons for coming. Usually, they will allow the green card application to proceed.
How to calculate 90 days
To check when the 90-day rule would apply, you should look at the I-94 travel record (the “Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record”) and find the date of your most recent entry into the United States. On this date, you then add 90 days.

How to Change Your Status from a TN Visa to a Marriage Green Card

Your pathway from a TN visa holder to a green card will depend on whether your spouse is a green card holder or a U.S. citizen. Also, it depends on how you will apply for it: via Adjustment of Status (AOS) or consular processing.
The process called “Adjustment of Status” is used by most applicants. The USCIS will handle your application while you are in the United States. This allows you to apply for a work permit, so if your TN nonimmigrant visa expires, you may keep working lawfully. However, as an AOS applicant, you have to be careful to avoid triggering the 90-day rule.
On the other side, the process called “Consular processing” is used by most applicants who are not at the time in the United States. In this case, a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country will handle your visa application. It means you’ll have to return to your home country for a medical examination and consular interview.
Case 1: Your spouse is a U.S. citizen
As we mentioned above, in this case, you will apply for the green card using AOS. You and your spouse will file two forms:
- Your spouse will file the family sponsorship form (Form I-130- the “Petition for Alien Relative”)
- You are required to file the green card application (Form I-485- “Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status”)
Usually, both of you will file these forms at the same time.
Case 2: Your spouse is a U.S. citizen, and you use consular processing
Applying for a green card via consular processing is typically used by applicants residing outside the United States. But, it may also be initiated from within the country. Still, in that case, you would have to return to your home country for an interview and medical examination.
Since you will leave the country and won’t trigger the 90-day rule, this approach is the safest way to shift from a TN status to a green card.
But keep in mind that as a consular processing applicant, you can’t remain in the United States or gain employment authorization if your TN visa expires before you obtain the green card.
The application process is the same as the one used by the spouses of U.S. citizens living abroad:
- Filing the family sponsorship form (Form I-130- “Petition for Alien Relative”) with USCIS.
- Upon the approval of the I-130 form, your case will be transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC), so you have to pay fees, file the DS-260, and mail in your supporting documents.
- Consulate or embassy in your home country will receive your documents. You will get a time and date for your consular interview. Bear in mind that you will have to bring your medical examination results when coming to the interview.
Typically, the whole process takes 11-17 months.
If you do not get your application’s approval during your consular interview, you may receive a request for evidence (RFE) or a follow-up interview.
Case 3: Your spouse is a green card holder
If your spouse holds a green card, you can file your TN visa application either through AOS or consular processing. Still, you’ll need to wait for a green card to become available for you.
Sometimes you need to leave the United States and complete your application using consular processing. However, for both case scenarios, you’ll first need to file the family sponsorship form or Form I-130. Upon the approval of Form I-130, you must wait for a visa number showing that a green card is available to you.
If it becomes available for you before the TN visa expires, you may stay and apply for a green card using AOS. Also, using the consular processing, you can apply from within the United States, but if your TN visa expires before your green approval, you’ll have to leave the United States.
If a green card becomes available after your TN nonimmigrant visa expires, you’ll have to return to the home country to complete your green card application through consular processing.
To apply via AOS, you have to file Form I-485 (“Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status). You will be able to remain in the United States and get a work permit until you wait, typically 29-38 months.
Applying for a TN visa status through consular processing requires you to file the DS-260 online. If you apply from within the United States, you’ll have to return to your home country for a medical exam and consular interview. The whole process typically takes 23-32 months, and you won’t be able to remain in the United States if your TN visa expires before your green card is approved.
If you begin an application through AOS, you’ll have to be careful not to trigger the 90-day rule, but you’ll be able to remain in the United States and request permission to work even after your TN visa expires. If you use consular processing, you’ll avoid any problems with the 90-day rule, but you’ll have to leave the country before your TN visa expires.
