Nurse Practitioners: Nurses

nurse practitioners: Work visas restored to specialized Canadian nurses working in U.S. Specialized Canadian nurses stress over rules preventing them from working in U.S. U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not explain what happened specifically when they announced on Friday nurses would once again be approved for work visas, according to CBC. Windsor immigration lawyer Laurie Tannous said the confusion stemmed from a new interpretation of legislation under U.S. president Donald Trump's administration, which could apply to more professions than just nursing. The trouble began last week when visa applications for advanced practice nurses and advanced clinical nurse practitioners working in Detroit hospitals were denied. It's the same legislation, the same rules, the same policies, she said. More problems expected Canadian nurses have for years been approved for non-immigrant professional TN visas under the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA . But recent applications for specialized nurses were rejected. They're just being enforced, whereas for the eight years prior to that, they weren't. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
