Procare USA has been the healthcare staffing company of choice for Canadian Registered Nurses since 1990. We specialize in placing Canadian RNs on assignments at acute and sub-acute care facilities throughout the United States.

For Canadian nurses interested in working in the United States, Procare USA offers a variety of unique opportunities to live and work in new places, while expanding your professional experience. Whether taking a brief leave of absence from your current position, or if you plan to remain in the United States indefinitely, our knowledgeable and caring staff will make your move painless and stress-free, guiding you every step of the way. Canadian nurses know that Procare USA's experienced licensing, immigration and housing specialists coordinate all pre-employment arrangements and advise you on all aspects of relocation to the United States. As a Canadian, traveling nurse, jobs are available to you throughout the United States.

Canadian RNs admitted under the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) need a TN nonimmigrant (temporary) work authorization to work in the U.S. In order to qualify for a TN, Canadian RNs must present a job offer from a U.S. employer, a VisaScreen Certificate, their nursing diploma and a Canadian passport and/or birth certificate to a U.S. immigration officer at a U.S. Port of Entry (border or international airport). Eligible dependents of Canadian nurses are granted TD status and may enter for the duration of authorized stay of the worker. TN work authorization is granted in maximum increments of one year and may be renewed by returning to a Port of Entry or by petitioning for an extension by mail at least a couple of months prior to the expiration date of the period of authorized stay.

Procare USA can also assist Canadian RNs in preparing for the NCLEX exam through our association with Delmar Learning and Kaplan Inc., premier providers of educational services. Call us to find out how Procare USA can save you 20 % on Delmar Learning or 15% on Kaplan's NCLEX preparation courses.
