I have heard that I will need an employment offer letter including how the job position falls under one of the NAFTA categories and the specifics of the job duties. But I will also need to show proof of my education credentials. In my case, the education I have had at a US grad school is directly in the field of the job I'm getting. I'm just not sure how to show this. I do have a certificate conferring the Masters degree on me, and this is official; it is dated and the university seal is on it. However it does not say what field the Masters degree is in, it simply says they've conferred a Masters on me. Is this enough? Or do I need something that specifies the field I studied and how it is directly the same as the job I got? The only other thing I can think of is printing my unofficial transcripts from my grad school. Will these be enough, or will the guard think it's insufficient because it's "unofficial"?
What is the best way to "show educational credentials" when applying for TN at the border?

-- Check with your department, I had a letter from my department stating that I had completed all the requirements for the degree in that department. This was prior to my convocation, since the official diploma was not available then. I produced that letter when the immigration officer asked about particulars of my degree.
The unofficial transcripts *should* work, but having a letter is the best option.
-- I had the diploma when I was applying for the TN - but did not have it initially when my previous employer wanted to make sure that I had completed my degree requirements. That letter was useful while applying for my TN. So the letter indeed served purpose in my case. In OP's case, the transcripts should suffice..
