Hello,
I am currently on tn status until September of this year. I work as a nurse with a travel nurse company (do 3 months at various hospitals around the US). My current contract is ending at a hospital may 10 and I am flying out on vacation for approximately 3weeks. I return on June 4. Originally I was planning on taking another contract with my company, but instead I have found employment at a hospital I would like to work at full time. They have offered me a job with a June 17 start date. I have not resigned from my current job. You can take as much unpaid leave as wanted in between contracts. So if I told them I wanted a contract for july they would be fine with that.
I guess my question is when re-entering the US - should I apply for a new tn at that time with the new hospital? It would be at the Jfk airport- so I’m not sure how familiar they would be with that. Also I will be traveling with my us citizen boyfriend (as we will be on vacation together). Not sure if that looks bad. Also the start date would be more than 10 days out - 13 days to be exact.
Otherwise my plan was to fly to canada on june 5/6 and spend a week at home with family and then apply at pearson on my way back in. The only hiccup would be then flying back into the US on june 4th. Even though I still have my tn status- I’m not really going back to work for that company. Would I ask to re-enter as visitor status? I do not want to lie or do anything to jeopardize my next tn application. We made these vacation plans eons ago, so I did not think about changing jobs.
Or does it just make sense to try to change my flight coming back from vacation to an end destination of Canada. Thus avoiding trying to re-enter the US. I’m just mot sure how hefty of a cost that will be.
