Can a RN with Associates degree get H1A and GC

[texancanadian]

My wife is currently on an H4 and plan to start a nursing program soon which will end with her earning an Associates Degree in Nursing and a RN after she completes the NCLEX (not sure im spelling correctly) exam.

I had a couple of questions

1) Can a RN with only an associates degree from a US Community college be sponsored for H1A and/or Green card (because I know for H1B you require at least 4 yrs bachelors degree or equivalent).

2) Is there a visa she can use to do an internship at the hospital (paid) as opposed to an actual job.

3) Does anyone know what the scope is for Nurses in dermatology and/or plastic surgery ? My wife has a background and experience in Cosmetology /Esthetician which may help her in this related field.

4) How easy is it for RN's with associate degree and license from US to practice in Ontario, Canada. I have heard that in Canada RN requires a 4 yr college degree and she may only qualify as vocational/practical nurse. Is that true ?

5) Can a nurse (Indian passport) only qualify under EB3 ?

Thanks

H1A sunset in 1996.

May try intern or coop but not sure.

You have to get RN license first and then may apply for specialty of nurse practitioner.

4) How easy is it for RN's with associate degree and license from US to practice in Ontario, Canada. I have heard that in Canada RN requires a 4 yr college degree and she may only qualify as vocational/practical nurse. Is that true ?

Have to pass Canadian RN exam. 4-year degree is not necessary for RN in Canada.

5) Can a nurse (Indian passport) only qualify under EB3 ?

Yes.
