Can you get a job in the US if you got the degree in Canada?

Question

and can you get a job in Canada if you got your degree in the US, just curious

Answer 1

Of course you can...depends on the degree though.
Doctors, for example, do have to write the other countries exams again, which, as a doctor, I think is pretty stupid.

Answer 2

Hey Man the biggest question is WHY would you want to.
Their $$ is tanking, Canada has an incredible growth rate, very little "cultural" challenges. Why man would you wanna leave here. I would understand if you wanna go help citizens of affected countries where health care is rare, let alone paid for, (free) where class distinctions doesn't equal better care, where the poor have a given general care equal to the "rich". So why leave Canada, why not help here we need you. The USA does want you, but your nobody there other then a a new IRS account.

Answer 3

If the degree requires a special license to do your career such as law or medicine, degree's outside of the country you intend to work may not be accepted. General degrees for average careers makes no difference. The school you attend may make the difference. Some are more prestigious than others. Weigh the accredibility of the school and the acceptance of that education where you intend to work.

Answer 4

Check out the list of professions under the NAFTA agreement on the immigration website. Some professions are much easier then others. If you're on the list, then no problem. If not, then you have to apply for a visa based on no other Canadians being available to do the job, etc.

Answer 5

Of course, We don't care where you got the education, and especially with our friends, the Canadians. You are always welcome here. As to vice versa, I'm sure the Canadians are just as welcoming to Americans. I've been able to use my degrees anywhere I wanted, even in Europe. The holdup is the passport/visa applications in some areas. And of course, with doctors and specialized fields, there are other limitations, but for general career fields, there is a freedom in movement to use that education.

Answer 6

Definitely. Some professions may require that you take US or state licensing exams (doctors, nurses, etc.) but most jobs and schools (if you want to do graduate work) will recognize most undergraduate degrees from other countries.

Answer 7
