SAINT-ALPHONSE-DE-GRANBY · TN FIELD GUIDE

What should the support letter say when a Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby therapist is hired under an internal job title?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

It should name the treaty profession in the words the list uses, then describe the clinical duties that justify that name, and only afterwards mention the internal title as a label. A letter that leads with clinical program lead and never uses the profession's own name asks an officer to make the connection unaided.

Write the profession first and the job title second

Hypothetical example: the applicant here is Marilou, an occupational therapist whose American employer has put her under the internal title clinical program lead. Employers name positions for their own reasons, and internal titles drift toward seniority language that has no meaning under a treaty list. The letter should therefore open by identifying the profession exactly as Appendix 2 states it, confirm Marilou's Canadian citizenship and full legal name, and then set out duties in concrete clinical terms: functional assessments in patients' homes, treatment plans reviewed at stated intervals, equipment prescription, supervision of assistants delivering plans she has written.

It should state the American entity's legal name and address, the salary, the reporting line and the period requested, which cannot exceed three years at a time. It should identify her credential precisely and say which branch of the profession's rule she relies on. If the group insists on using its own title in the letter, it should appear once, in brackets, after the profession.

Documents not written in English need a complete certified translation, and a Quebec permit will normally require one.
