INTRODUCTION
Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.
Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.
Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.
At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Planner
Verify your degree meets specialty requirements
TN visa sponsorship for Planner roles requires a degree in urban planning, regional planning, or a closely related field like geography or environmental studies. A general business or public administration degree alone won't satisfy CBP's specialty occupation standard for this category.
Target employers with active land use portfolios
Municipal planning departments, regional transportation authorities, and environmental consulting firms hire Planners regularly and are familiar with TN documentation requirements. Private developers and infrastructure contractors also sponsor but may need more guidance on the filing process.
Search TN-sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Planner job listings by employers with TN visa sponsorship history. This cuts out the guesswork of cold-applying to employers who won't engage with international candidates at the offer stage.
Get your employer support letter precisely worded
CBP officers at the port of entry review your employer's support letter carefully. It must explicitly name the TN Planner category, describe your duties as planning-specific, state your degree field, and confirm full-time or part-time status and compensation.
Prepare for Mexican nationals to file through consular processing
If you're a Mexican citizen, you'll apply at a U.S. consulate rather than a port of entry, which adds scheduling lead time. Book your appointment early and confirm the consulate accepts TN visa applications, as not all locations process them.
Clarify consultant and contract roles before accepting an offer
TN status requires a legitimate employer-employee or client-contractor relationship, not self-employment. If your Planner role is structured as a consulting engagement, confirm with your employer that the arrangement satisfies CBP's definition of a valid employment relationship.
Planner TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Planner job title qualify for TN visa status?
Yes. The TN visa includes Urban and Regional Planner as an explicitly listed USMCA professional category. Your job duties must align with planning functions such as land use analysis, zoning review, transportation planning, or community development. Titles like Project Planner, Transportation Planner, or Environmental Planner typically qualify as long as the underlying work is planning-specific and your degree matches.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for Planner roles?
TN is far more practical for Planner roles. There's no annual lottery, no cap for Canadian citizens, and no multi-month wait for USCIS adjudication. Canadians can receive TN status at the port of entry the same day. H-1B visa requires your employer to file months in advance and enter you into a randomized selection process, with no guarantee of approval even if you're fully qualified.
Can I use Migrate Mate to find Planner jobs with TN sponsorship?
Yes. Migrate Mate is built specifically to connect Canadian and Mexican professionals with U.S. employers who sponsor TN visas. You can search Planner roles filtered by TN sponsorship, skipping employers who won't support international candidates. This is especially useful if you're targeting planning roles in municipal government, consulting, or infrastructure sectors where sponsorship openness varies significantly.
What documents do I need to bring to the port of entry for a TN Planner application?
You'll need a valid Canadian passport, a support letter from your U.S. employer on company letterhead that describes your Planner duties and confirms your TN category, and proof of your qualifying degree such as a diploma or transcript. CBP may also ask for a credential evaluation if your degree was issued outside North America. Bring originals, not just digital copies.
Can I change employers while on TN status as a Planner?
Yes, but your TN status is tied to your current employer. Before starting with a new employer, you need a new TN approval, either at the port of entry with fresh documentation or through a USCIS change of employer filing. You can't begin work for the new employer until the new TN is approved, so time the transition carefully to avoid any gap in authorized work status.
