The amount of dollars that traverse our borders is tremendous, going in both directions. There are American MTs who have Canadian MTSOs. What I object to is the conversion rate <VBG> and being ripped off by a taxi driver in Montreal LOL!. Canadians have become accustomed to americanisms because of the greater trade between the two countries, the influx of tourists, the necessity of doing business on a more equal level for a greater period of time. I don't feel raped by Canadians undercutting the American market. I could go on, but you asked a simple question, and I have answered it.

American Companies Who Hire Canadians??
Hi All,

I am getting very discouraged trying to find an American company who hires Canadians. Not just an American company, but a reputable one at that!

I'm currently waiting on a suitable contract with Accentus up here in Canada, but waiting is not a luxury I can afford.

Does anyone know of reputable American companies that hire Canadian medical transcriptionists?

Thanks in advance.

Jen
