Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Medical Physicist
Verify your degree meets TN requirements
TN classification for Medical Physicists requires a degree in physics, medical physics, or a closely related physical science. A biomedical engineering degree alone may trigger scrutiny at the border, so confirm your transcript language aligns with the USMCA occupation list before applying.
Target hospitals with ABR-accredited physics programs
Facilities training American Board of Radiology residents already understand physicist credentialing and are more likely to have handled TN documentation before. Academic medical centers, cancer treatment networks, and university-affiliated hospitals are your strongest starting points for TN-ready employers.
Search TN-sponsored roles through Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Medical Physicist openings by TN visa sponsorship, so you're not cold-applying to employers who haven't considered cross-border hiring. Use it to identify which facilities are actively recruiting Canadian and Mexican physicists before reaching out.
Request a formal TN support letter from your employer
Your TN letter must state the specific medical physics duties, your qualifying degree, and the USMCA occupation category. A vague offer letter citing only job title and salary is a common reason Canadian Canadians are deferred at the port of entry, so ask HR to follow USCIS's recommended letter format.
Understand how Mexican TN applicants schedule consular appointments
Unlike Canadians, Mexican citizens cannot self-petition at the border and must appear at a U.S. consulate. Schedule your DS-160 and consular interview as soon as your employer issues the support letter, since appointment wait times vary significantly by location and season.
Clarify employer-paid versus self-paid filing costs upfront
For Canadian TN applicants processed at the port of entry, CBP charges a fee directly. For consular processing, the MRV fee applies. Confirm in writing during the offer stage which costs your employer covers, since this varies by facility and is rarely addressed in standard offer letters.

Find Medical Physicist JobsMedical Physicist TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Medical Physicist role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, Medical Physicist is an explicitly listed occupation under the USMCA TN category. To qualify, your degree must be in physics, medical physics, or a closely related physical science, and your job duties must align with the practice of medical or health physics. Clinical, research, and radiation safety physicist roles all generally qualify.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for Medical Physicists?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadian citizens, and no lengthy USCIS petition process for most Canadians. H-1B requires employer sponsorship months in advance, entry into a random lottery, and USCIS adjudication that can take many months. TN can be approved at the port of entry the same day for Canadians, making it far faster to start work.
Where can I find Medical Physicist jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for TN visa job searches and filters Medical Physicist openings by sponsorship availability. Most general job boards don't filter by visa type, so you end up applying to roles where the employer has never considered cross-border hiring. Searching through a TN-specific platform saves significant time during your job search.
Can I switch employers on a TN visa as a Medical Physicist?
Yes, but TN status is employer-specific. When you change employers, you need a new TN authorization tied to the new employer's support letter before you start working for them. Canadian physicists can typically get this resolved at the port of entry; Mexican citizens must apply through a U.S. consulate. You cannot simply transfer your existing TN to a new facility.
Does state medical physics licensure affect my TN visa application?
State licensure requirements don't directly determine TN eligibility, which is governed by federal USMCA criteria. That said, if your employer requires a state license before you can practice clinically, you'll need to factor in credential evaluation and licensing timelines separately from your TN filing, particularly if your degree was issued outside the U.S. or Canada.
