Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Primary Care Physician
Verify your credentials meet TN standards
TN physician classification requires a valid U.S. state medical license or proof you've passed USMLE Steps 1, 2, and 3. Confirm your Canadian or Mexican medical degree is recognized before approaching employers, since credential gaps delay offers.
Target health systems with recent visa filings
Large hospital networks, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and multi-site primary care groups have experience with work visa sponsorship. Focus on organizations in physician-shortage areas, where hiring pressure makes employers more willing to navigate the sponsorship process. For Canadian physicians, employers prepare a support letter you present at the U.S. port of entry for TN status. For Mexican physicians, the employer's support letter is submitted with your consulate application for TN status.
Clarify your employment structure before the offer
TN status requires a direct employer-employee relationship or a qualifying contracted arrangement. If you're joining a physician management group that contracts with a hospital, confirm which entity will appear as your TN petitioner before signing anything.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsoring employers
Search Migrate Mate to identify primary care employers with active TN visa sponsorship history. Filter by specialty and location to match roles where your credentials and patient-population experience align with what hiring managers are already approving.
Prepare for the Canadian port-of-entry process
Canadian citizens can self-petition at a U.S. land border or preclearance airport with their offer letter, medical license, and degree documents. CBP officers decide on the spot, so having a clearly drafted support letter from your employer reduces back-and-forth.
Understand the TN renewal timeline for physicians
TN status is granted in three-year increments with no maximum renewals, but each renewal requires demonstrating continued employment in a qualifying physician role. Coordinate with your employer's HR team at least 90 days before your status expires to avoid gaps.

Find Primary Care Physician JobsPrimary Care Physician TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TN visa cover all primary care physician specialties?
The TN category lists 'Physician' broadly, but there is a key restriction: TN physicians may only engage in teaching or research roles, not direct patient care, unless they hold a valid J-1 or H-1B waiver. Confirm with your employer that your specific clinical duties fall within an approvable arrangement before accepting an offer.
How does the TN visa compare to H-1B for primary care physicians?
For Canadian citizens, TN has no lottery, no annual cap, and no petition processing wait, making it far more accessible than H-1B for physicians who qualify. Mexican citizens face a 5,400-per-year TN cap, which can create delays. H-1B remains the standard path for direct patient care roles where TN's teaching-or-research restriction creates a barrier.
Where can I find primary care physician jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists primary care physician roles with confirmed TN visa sponsorship, so you can filter by location and role type without cold-applying to employers who don't sponsor. This saves significant time compared to manually screening hospital career pages or contacting HR teams to ask about TN eligibility before interviews begin.
What documents does a Canadian physician need at the port of entry for TN status?
You'll need your signed employment offer letter specifying your physician role and duties, your medical degree, proof of your current medical license or USMLE completion, and a valid Canadian passport. CBP will issue your TN status and I-94 on the spot if documentation is complete and your role qualifies under the treaty.
Can a primary care physician on TN status apply for a green card?
TN status is nonimmigrant and does not require you to abandon permanent residency intent, but it does not directly support a green card application the way H-1B does. Physicians pursuing permanent residency typically transition to H-1B or pursue a National Interest Waiver through EB-2, since physician shortage area work can support that classification.
