TN for physical therapy assistant

Post Sat Apr 18, 2009 1:16 pm

Folks,
i am educated in Canada for physical therapist assistance. i did evaluation in US and its equivalent to US education. i am thinking to apply for US TN visa. i collected primary information and it says one must have " Physiotherapist/ physical therapist
Baccalaureate or Licenciatura degree; or state/provincial license.

I don't have under grade degree but two years college education and since Michigan state don't need any license for physical therapy assist jobs. what are my chances to get TN ? can i make my argument base on that about every requirements says " OR ".

any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are licensed as a physical therapist, you don't need a bachelor's degree.

Hello

Its been a while you posted your comment for PTA, My wife studying is as PTA with Trios college. From the information she got if you want a TN visa you will need to be a PT. My wife contacted several agency in USA they told her almost the same thing. She even look for H1B visa same results. It wont be easy for Canadian PTA to move in USA unless you get married to an American. My wife is in the same boat. If you got any information please let us know you can send me an email at rodlarose@hotmail.com.The best thing to do its to contact a accredited college in USA and found out if they can help you.
