    Validation of current TN once issued New TN

    You are supposed to carry a copy of your "good" TN I-94, and show them that one. At the same time, you might wish to cancel your invalid TN. This will have no impact on any future petitions.

    Validation of current TN once issued New TN

    Your 'old" TN should still be valid, as long as the I-94 number of the "new" one is not identical to the old one. If it is, then CBP has "replaced" your old sponsor, with the new one, and you would need to fix this (by returning to border with your original TN petition, or if you prefer, a...

    USCIS Alien Registration Requirements

    If the updated I-94 has a change in date, of course this needs to be sent to the employer for their I-9. If it merely a new I-94 issues because you left N America, with no other changes, it would be best practice to submit to employer, as the old I-94 doesn't really exist as a basis for the I-9...

    Assistance with Correcting TD Status for My Spouse via USCIS

    Her TD is linked to YOU, nit your employer. You have TN, so her TD remains valid until HER I-94 expiry date. She does at some point need to get a new I-94 with the same expiry date as your TN, but for now she is fine.

    switching to tn from h1 notice period

    In fact, technically your H1-B ended the day you were let go (paid severance does not extend h1-B validity), since neither you nor your employer were meeting the requirements of your labor certification. There is no conflict for you to get TN at this point.

    TNer with US citizen wife, travel plan

    Agreed. If you are already living in US with your wife, you were lucky to get TN and keep it in the first place. Marriage to a US citizen who is living in the US is automatically considered immigrant intent -- with or without filing I-130 -- so tread lightly.

    1099 or C2C?

    Not really an immigration question... If you are on a Cdn payroll (you should be), then no, you should be apying Cdn tax, and CPP/EI, not US social security.

    TN Visa eligibility for a QA Director

    You might be eligible, if you have degree, but "Director of QA" itself is not a sufficient job description, and may be more of a managerial position, which is not eligible. You would need to give more details. You may be better to consider an "L" status, as an intra-company transferee.
