    TN Visa: contractor, taxes and traveling

    lol, well-informed AND with a sense of humor. I should introduce you to my friends! so now that the technicalities are out of the way, let me ask for a subjective opinion.

    TN Visa: contractor, taxes and traveling

    yep got that, the question is a bit more "encyclopedic", for other visas (B1/B2, H-1B) you MUST return the I-94 when flying overseas. In the TN case am I supposed to keep it? I like to be informed how things are supposed to be, otherwise I always carry copies of everything in case things go...

    Hello, I am a Canadian Citizen looking to get my first TN visa. I have some questions: - can I get a TN visa as an independent contractor? I have a company that wants to hire me but not as an employee, just as a contractor. Can I get a TN visa with the contract? - in this case do I pay...
