tia944 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I am writing this post to ask if anyone would be able to let me know a few questions I had. I am Canadian and got accepted to a PA program in Florida. Would anyone know of other Canadians who have graduated from a states PA program and are working in the states as a PA? I’d like to know what visa status would need to be issued for an individual wanting to work in USA. If anyone knows Canadians working as a PA in the states I’d really like to know what their process was to attain a job, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddeb Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I’m originally from Manitoba and graduated from a NYC PA program! I had to apply for a study visa through my school’s international office before I started. You need to have an F-1 status in order to study in the US as a Canadian. I was able to get an temporary extension to work after graduation but ultimately needed a Green Card. The Trump administration really slowed the immigration process down to the point where I was forced to leave a great job until I received my card. Unfortunately, when I finally was cleared as a permanent resident, my previous employer hired someone else. long story short, I’m now employed FT and able to pay off my enormous school debt again! Lol Feel free to email me for more info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
