travlinghart in bacolod, Philippines said: oh so MS in biology not in medical technology.. yes co'z i was a bit puzzled thinking that you have a masters in med. tech. yet work as a technician in a clinical lab.

It can be a bit confusing. In many countries, a Lab Technician works under the supervision of the Lab Technologist. Yet in some regions, they refer to MTs as Lab Technician. Medical Technologists are also referred to as Clinical Lab Scientists or Biomedical Scientists.

Hi,all..
I am MS - Medical Lab Technologist, presently in Muscat, looking for H1 visa employment. I am having 10 + years of experience and specialized in HAematology and author for a book in HAematology. any help / suggestions invited to sb.ratakonda@gmail.com

Thanks Sajjad, really appreciate your help.

I entered the one year course of medical laboratory technician program in Centennial college HP Science and Technology and now I am at the end of 2 semester. My 3 semester will involve a clinical placement in a hospital for 6 weeks. After graduating I will be able to write OSMT exam as well as CSMLS exam. And after that I will look for a job.
In the future I will consider go to the Mitchener for lab technologist though some hospitals can reimburse you if you complete a course successfully.

I wish luck to those who are at the beginning of the path. However, as a person who had 7 years of studying from back home I realized that learning is continuous process of giving and taking knowledge in order to master yourself and help others which will last all your life. Be prepared and equipped for that and don't forget a positive attitude which will be of great use in a long run.

With best wishes

Suri in Toronto, Ontario said: Hi, I immigrated to Canada almost 2 years ago. I possess a Bachelor degree of biology as well as a medical college diploma of laboratory diagnostics. I have 10 years experience include positions of laboratory assistant and doctor at lab, however, in Toronto I am considered a medical laboratory technologist. I mostly worked in immunohaematology department.
Now I just have to be certified with OSMT (as a lab technician) or CMLTO( lab technologist).
If anyone who has a similar background and confronts the same obstacles can advise me where can I go to upgrade myself and have 20 successful phlebotomy procedures, 10 successful ECG procedures, and 80 hours of practical experience in a medical testing facility.I personally refuse to go to private colleges such us Everest and so on and know that labs don't take volunteers( open to suggestions )
Maybe someone aware of courses for 3 or 6 months which include above procedures and following certifications. Please answer, I would really appreciate, cause I don't even know where to start. Calling to OSMT and CMLTO doesn't give me anything cause they just refer me to their web site and it doesn't provide me with the answers to my questions.

Thanks to everyone who will take time to reply.

Hi Suri,
I just graduated from Algonquin Creers Academy Medical Laborotary Assistant/Technicia diploma program. My background amost same with you. If you take a medical laboratory assisant/technician program approved by OSMT,this program covers everything that OSMT requires for OSMT exam,you will be qualified for OSMT exam.Otherwise,it is difficult everone.Twice OSMT exam one year in June and November.

good luck

Thanks very much for your information.

Hi Harry,

If you could read the information above you got the idea what to do.
If you want to be a medical lab technician I would suggest Centennial College, it is only one year program with a clinical placement and hands on experience, after which you are eligible to write OSMT exam( I don't know what is the regulation in your province,you need to find out)

I don't know if you have Centennial college in Alberta, but try to find a community college with a medical technician program, cause private colleges are all about ripping off.

I wish you good luck and feel free to ask anytime

I did a 1 year course in Medial lab tech from india some 10 years ago. i passed it successfully but did not work more than three months in a lab, so to say, i do not remember how to conduct the simplest of tests now.
i came to canada a month ago and have found out that med lab technicians are highly in demand. what do u suggest. is there any scope to upgrade the diploma that i have already done , or should i go for a med lab assistant course first, since it is short and will help me in beginning my career in a short span of time like 6 months.

pls advise. thanx in advance.

Hey Harry firstly I want to let you know I am a woman)))) so no MR. Suri.

On top of the diploma you have in medical laboratory science you have to possess 80 hours of laboratory experience in Canada including 20 phlebotomy procedures and 10 ECGs. You may find this information if you follow this link

www.osmt.org/content/index.php?pid=7&cid=53

So you need first to evaluate your diploma and get Canadian experience, only then you may apply, if not you should finish one of the approved by OSMT colleges and pass the OSMT exam. You also may find related information on OSMT site. Don't be shy, just call them up and ask about whatever concerns you have.

Best of luck.
Sorry Harry fro replying very late

Hi,

If you want to continue studying then this link will help.

www.osmt.org/content/index.php?pid=7&cid=56

Go to the medical laboratory technologist program at the bottom of the page

After graduating from one of these program you will be able to write CSMLS exam for technologists and if you pass you will be certified member of CMLTO.

If you want to work as technician you need to pass either OSMT and CSMLS exams for technicians and find a job in Toronto.

I am also currently looking for a job and in the meantime preparing for those technician exams.

Good luck

Sorry to hear your story, but I knew someone from India with the same problem and she needed the hours to do the upgrade also.Unfortunately she had to go back to school that's were we both met. We finish the program in 8 mths and 1 mth on practical placement and we are both going to do the OSMT exam in november. We went to everest but if you don't want to go there you can find another school and go but you are not going to find anywhere in Ontario to do what you want in such a short time.
All the best in finding your way.

Thanks Tash for your comments, really appreciate. I graduated from Centennial college this year and going to write Csmls and Osmt exams in 2 weeks.
I also wish you best of luck and also suggest not to stop at this point cause you also can get educated as a medical lab technologist which is exactly what I am planning to do in couple of years.

I am Sara I COMPLETED FOUR YEARS COURSE Bachelor of medical laborotary fro Sudan (heamatology & immuitology)last year and I am planning to do master and recently I am looking for job

The most important skill employers are looking for is english communication. I have worked with Med Lab hiring managers who will take someone with great communication skills and train them in phelbotomy and hire them right into their labs, without a degree or diploma.

Community colleges will give you that extra time to build your communication skills you need to take advanatage of those soft skill electives while attending, and go out and find a part-time SALES job even if it means selling shoes at the mall. The communication and CSR skills you will pick up are priceless. Meeting and selling will build your confidence and people skills, you will be amazed at what you will learn. You could have all the paper in the world but if you cannot read the person who is interviewing you for a potential employment opportunity you will never get hired. Practice selling to others in order to sell yourself to employers!!!

Hi, I hope I can help you guys out. Here's how I got my H1B visa.

I graduated in the Philippines with a BS degree in Medical Technologist then came here in California as a tourist and took the CLS exam 4 years ago (you can also take the ASCP). After I passed, I applied for a job in Quest Diagnostics and luckily got the job but then I still had to go back to the Philippines to get my Visa Screen so it took me another year to get everything done before I started working.

If you already have the requirements to apply for a job, I suggest to check their website www.questdiagnostics.com and look for a job in San Juan Capistrano area because that's where they hire newly graduates or H1B sponsored CLSs. (Take note: they only sponsor CLSs.)

I have few coworkers from India but they're not CLS yet (they're working as lab associate) even though they're doctors in India. I've heard that some of them are still missing some units that they need to take in college or they have to go through the CLS program which Quest Diagnostics offers too. That CLS program is a one year program which you have to deal with laboratory works supervised by a CLS trainer and I've heard they pay you $11/hour (which I don't think is not bad since you get paid while you're in the program) and after that, you will work as a lab associate and pay you around $24 then once you passed your CLS exam, they will hire you as a CLS specialist, not generalist (depending on your major) and pay you around $30.

Good luck guys!:)

hi , im a medical technologist working here in kuwait for 4 years now. i have 5 years experience in the philippines. i really wanted to go to canada. can you help me find an agency or any referral person. tnx

thanx for replying...

Why dont you try another country besides the US? Try Canada, Australia, the UAE. The US is going through the worse recession than the great depression, just take a look at community colleges and universites, they have TRIPLED in enrollment. This is because they want a stable job, hence more people are getting into the allied fields, nursing, xray, lab.

There is no need for a hospital to sponser anyone anymore, UNLESS YOU WANT TO LIVE IN KANSAS. There are plenty of US grads. My hospital has stopped given out visas for the past 3 yrs b/c we had so many people apply to vacant positions.

This will go on for many years or they may never start back up again

Not only is there an overabundance of US candidates competing for American jobs, but also, after 9/11 USCIS has come up with stricter rules and policies. It's much more difficult for companies to justify sponsoring foreigners for H1Bs or Green Cards, and the process takes months to years. It might be a little bit easier, if you were already here on a student visa. You could see if anyone would be willing to sponsor you for an OPT (Optional Training Permit) to get your foot in the door. After an OPT, the employer might be willing to sponsor you for an H1B.

Hi, CLS-tere

Can I ask you sth about the breakdown number of student lab study and clinical intership hours. They sent me the letter to my school few months ago. Now they sent it again. I guessed I am the first student who applied for Visa Screen in my school, they don't have idea about how to do it. Obviously, CGFNS wasn't satisfied about the material we sent. Now I am trying to figure out what they want. Do you have any idea about student lab study hours? Does that include both theory and lab hours, or just lab hours?

well am in jamaica anyone out there want to employ me just leave ur comment

well am From Jamaica i know a lot about car parts and engine, am looking any job out there just send me something saying u will sponsor me to any of the following countries Cayman Island, Bahamas, Canada, United State of America

Hi Ankit!
It would be of great help on ur sugesstion. I have been studying medical assistant in a vocational institute in USA and now i have applied to canada as skilled worker and hopefully soon i will be landing there as an immigrant.Since i have my MBBS and a diploma certificate as medical assistant is there any way i could apply for the post of medical assistant anywhere in canada. I don't want to waste time as i reach canada so how do i apply for medical assistant post as immigrant?
Medical assistant is just my vocational training not my major, i am trying to plan to survive working in health field as i reach canada as i know its tough to get in to hospitals as a physician untill lisenced and having canadian medical experiences.

HELP!
I am Irish student, I have an undergraduate course in Biomedical Science from an Irish college,with an Irish license to practice. Currently I am completing a masters course in a United Kingdom based university and will have an English license to practice!

But I really want to move to America, mostly the east coast.
So I have been doing a lot of research:
It says I need a CGFNS visa screen, costing $540 and takes 3 months
then im told I need to sit the ASCPi exam costing $200 dollars

Is it true then I can obtain a H1-B visa because medical technologists are listed on this scheme. this costs 1000's of dollars as Im sure I need the optimum package to process this quickly, then do I just look through the company I applied for the visa with for sponsorship jobs

It all seems so very daunting to me so any advice would be greatly appreciated I feel as though I am well qualified to work I just want to make sure I go about this right.

so if anyone has any advice please help!

Hey KTDAVITT,

Here are some information that might help you. The CGFNS/ICHP will certify you as a
Clinical Laboratory Scientist by evaluating your credentials, education, your prof license/s, etc.
and I believe you know that you need to pass the qualifying band scores for the IELTS/English
test.

ASCPi is a certification that you have the knowledge of the profession but it is different from
the license. Most states will require their own license for medtech and you can check this site
www.lablicense.com, click “state licenses”. It explains there how you can acquire the MT license
from different states.

If you passed the ASCPi, you can actually convert this to California license, there is a process
on how you can do this in ASCP website. But ASCP is the one that is preferred by many states as
a certification for the profession followed by the license required (as to what states or company/
lab/hosp std qualificat

Thank you so much for your help I REALLY appreciate it! its me on a different user name
Your from liverpool so I assume you trained in the U.K my masters is from Uni of Ulster.
Are you working in the private or public sector, from reading these trends I see that many sponsors are mostly in the private sector!did it take along time to process everything

Would you reccomend I apply for the ASCPi first or the CGFNS?

thanks again for your detailed help,

If you think (well check their requirements)your visa screen will pretty much be approved based on what current prof license you have and your credentials (well don't know exactly what you have) apply for visa screen while you are prepairing for the ASCPi exams or while you schedule yourself for the exam. Remember you need a passing band score for your english test when you apply for the visa screen. I believe English is one of your major languages in Ireland but I'm not sure if you can apply for excemption and just have a certification that you speak the language.
You know that H1B visa is your permit to work in US but you need a sponsor for this. Yes MT is one of the professions that qualify for HIB visa but I believe you cannot apply on your own you must have a company that will petition/sponsor you. Best option is direct hire, but the employer may either have you pay all the processing, or payroll deduction or the best deal is they finance everything. Through agency, normally you will undergo placement program. Yes mostly the companies that sponsor are private institution and they are CAP regulated (this mean they are part of the quota, the available number of H1B visas that are made for every fiscal year, which usually run out immediately even months before the last filing date).Best option look for NON-CAP or nonprofit organization(this inst. can sponsor you anytime).Do u have email add?I could giv u mor info in ur inquiries thru email if u like.

I do know that there is such a visa. U will have to find a hospital that is willing to sponsor u. I suggest that u use their lawyer or get one on your own. It is highly possible. I know about it

Rob in Penticton, British Columbia said: I do know that there is such a visa. U will have to find a hospital that is willing to sponsor u. I suggest that u use their lawyer or get one on your own. It is highly possible. I know about it

Good Luck

I think that they do. I know that the Adventist Hospitals do. Private Hospitals do as well. Also, Hospitals that are "teaching hospitals" as well.

Good luck. U can do it

Hi, I am from India and I have BS and MS degree in Biochemistry and I have 5 years of experience. Currently I am holding Clinical Research Associate-2 position in multinational company in India. How can I found employment in US. Can any one suggest me the companies, who can sponsor my H1? Do I need to take any exam?

CLS@NYS in Syracuse, New York said: If you think (well check their requirements)your visa screen will pretty much be approved based on what current prof license you have and your credentials (well don't know exactly what you have) apply for visa screen while you are prepairing for the ASCPi exams or while you schedule yourself for the exam. Remember you need a passing band score for your english test when you apply for the visa screen. I believe English is one of your major languages in Ireland but I'm not sure if you can apply for excemption and just have a certification that you speak the language.
You know that H1B visa is your permit to work in US but you need a sponsor for this. Yes MT is one of the professions that qualify for HIB visa but I believe you cannot apply on your own you must have a company that will petition/sponsor you. Best option is direct hire, but the employer may either have you pay all the processing, or payroll deduction or the best deal is they finance everything. Through agency, normally you will undergo placement program. Yes mostly the companies that sponsor are private institution and they are CAP regulated (this mean they are part of the quota, the available number of H1B visas that are made for every fiscal year, which usually run out immediately even months before the last filing date).Best option look for NON-CAP or nonprofit organization(this inst. can sponsor you anytime).Do u have email add?I could giv u mor info in ur inquiries thru email if u like.

Hi, I did my Masters in Microbiology from NJ and worked in a Laboratory, but couldn't find anyone to do my H1B sponsorship. I moved to Canada now, but still looking to move back to US. Please suggest me if you know how to find sponsorship?
Thanks in advance
