In order to qualify for a TN visa, the Canadian nurse must possess the necessary credentials to practice her/his profession. Technically, under the NAFTA Treaty, Canadian nurse must have a valid state (United States) or provincial (Canada) license. However, that where a Canadian nurse possesses only a provincial license and the state where your entity intends to employ the nurse requires that he/she possess a state license, a state license will be required before the Immigration and Naturalization Service will issue a TN visa. Further, in order to obtain a state license you may have to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Some states have provisions to issue an interim license to nurses that have registered for the NCLEX.
