Canadian PCP looking for work in US

[bremsgcp]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a service that would sponsor a Canadian PCP to come to the US to work as an EMT? I have been to the US embassy here and they said it was the only way I could get a visa to work there.

I know it's way less money there but the money is not really an issue for me, I just want to live somewhere sunny and warm for awhile.

LOL! It's a good thing you cleared that up straight off, or some might derail this topic with questions of your mental stability!

Texas is sunny and warm. Well, sunny and HOT is more like it. And reciprocity isn't a big issue. They *might* ask you to take a 24 hour EMT refresher course, so that you can get a quick exposure to the local ways, then let you challenge the NREMT exam. I know one EMT City member who is an ACP from Ontario did that without any problems. You might check with Cypress Creek EMS in Houston. They have experience helping Canucks make the transition and are good people to deal with. They run their own in-house education, so it is very, very convenient. You won't be stuck running all over the state chasing classes down. You'll stay very warm and very busy in Houston.

Good luck!
