Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Registered Radiologic Technologist
Confirm your ARRT certification covers the modality
TN eligibility for radiologic technologists hinges on holding a valid ARRT credential in the specific modality you'll practice. If your certification is in CT or MRI rather than radiography, verify the job offer matches that credential before approaching any employer about sponsorship.
Research hospital systems experienced with visa sponsorship
Large academic medical centers and regional health systems sponsor work visas regularly and often have in-house immigration coordinators. Target employers with dedicated HR compliance teams, since they can generate the required support letter and handle TN sponsorship without outsourcing the process to a third party.
Obtain state licensure before the job offer stage
Most U.S. states require an active radiologic technology license before you can practice, and employers won't finalize a TN support letter until you can show licensure is in hand or imminent. Apply to your target state's radiation control board as early as possible in your job search.
Use Migrate Mate to filter roles that already include TN sponsorship
Searching broadly wastes time on employers unfamiliar with visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate surfaces Registered Radiologic Technologist postings from employers with recent visa filings, so your outreach goes to hiring managers already experienced with work visa processes and documentation requirements.
Prepare a clear credential package for the port of entry
Canadian citizens apply for TN status directly at a land border or preclearance airport, so your package needs to be self-explanatory. Bring your ARRT certificate, state license, the employer support letter, and your degree. Officers adjudicate on the spot, and missing one document can mean a same-day denial.
Clarify the modality and physical location with your employer before filing
TN approval is tied to a specific employer and role. If you'll rotate across multiple hospital campuses or imaging centers under the same health system umbrella, confirm with your employer whether those sites are covered under one entity or require separate documentation before the offer letter is drafted.

Find Registered Radiologic Technologist JobsRegistered Radiologic Technologist TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Registered Radiologic Technologist qualify for a TN visa?
Yes. Radiologic technologists are listed as a qualifying occupation under USMCA Appendix 2 for TN visa purposes. You need to hold a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree, or an Associate's degree combined with certification from the ARRT, plus a job offer from a U.S. employer in a role that uses that credential directly.
How does the TN visa compare to the H-1B for radiologic technologist positions?
The TN visa has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, so you can apply any time you have a qualifying job offer rather than waiting for a selection cycle. H-1B requires a cap-subject registration, a minimum bachelor's degree, and an employer-filed petition with USCIS before you can start work. For most radiologic technologists with Canadian or Mexican citizenship, TN is faster and more predictable.
What documents does my employer need to provide for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a signed support letter on company letterhead that describes your role, confirms it meets the TN classification criteria for Registered Radiologic Technologists, states your expected duration of employment, and lists your credentials. For Mexican nationals, your employer submits the support letter along with a Form I-129 petition to USCIS, and you apply for a visa stamp at a U.S. consulate. Canadian nationals can present the support letter directly at the U.S. port of entry.
Where can I find Registered Radiologic Technologist jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking roles with TN visa sponsorship. Rather than filtering through postings where sponsorship is unclear, Migrate Mate lists positions from employers who have confirmed their willingness to support TN workers, including radiologic technologist roles across hospital systems and imaging centers nationwide.
Can I switch employers after receiving TN status as a radiologic technologist?
Yes, but your TN authorization is tied to your current employer and role. Before starting with a new employer, Canadians need a new port-of-entry approval with a fresh support letter and credentials package. Mexican nationals need a new I-129 petition approved by USCIS and a new visa stamp. Working for a second employer without authorization is a violation of your TN status.
