TN Visa

TN Visa: Bridging Professional Opportunities for Canadian and Mexican Nationals

The TN (Trade NAFTA) visa stands as a key instrument in fostering economic collaboration and professional mobility between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Established under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (now, United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)), the TN visa is designed to facilitate the temporary entry of professionals from Canada and Mexico into the United States for specified occupations, contributing to cross-border business engagements and expertise exchange.

Key Features of the TN Visa:

1. Professionals Covered: The TN visa caters to professionals engaged in specific occupations listed under the NAFTA agreement. These occupations typically include fields such as engineering, science, technology, and various other professional roles.
2. Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for a TN visa, individuals must meet specific educational and professional requirements relevant to their designated occupation. The applicant's qualifications should align with the outlined criteria for the profession.
3. Employer Sponsorship: TN visas require employer sponsorship, with the employer filing the necessary petition and providing documentation demonstrating the applicant's eligibility and the job's alignment with the designated profession.
4. Duration of Stay: TN visa holders are initially granted for up to three years, TN visas can be extended in three-year increments. Unlike the H-1B visa, there is no statutory limit on the total duration of stay for TN visa holders.
5. Canadian and Mexican Nationals: Canadian citizens can generally apply for TN status directly at U.S. ports of entry, while Mexican citizens need to obtain a TN visa through the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Mexico.
