Heh funny thread. I told you it would work out fine, sp1976

If it were me, I'd want to find out what the RFE was for before making a new application. The border officer may ask for the same evidence and if you don't have it, then you're stuck outside the USA. I have no idea whether there's any peril to applying at the border for a TN while you have a...

This may indeed work; if the officer is not suspicious this is the same job being offered with fake job duties being listed. Obviously the risk is that the lie will be discovered and then he could easily be barred from future TN applications or even from entry.

I don't doubt websites list this as a recommendation, but lots of websites list lots of baseless concerns. A website author doesn't gain reputation or generate business if they don't purport to have cautionary wisdom. "thank goodness you asked us for advice, you almost made this big mistake!"...

Sounds like a typical rumour, where people repeat cautious advice to frequently they start to believe repetition = verification. I am skeptical because my lawyer's office is right on the border; he visits the POE a few times a day; and his business has MANY TN permit holders. Of the many...

BTW, to reiterate what others have said: - Being naturalized vs. born canadian: irrelevant - Being declined for a TN: doesn't cause any issues with future border crossings

This is the important part others have missed..! You must have an accredited evaluation + translation of your degree. I don't know who does that, but I heard it takes a few weeks and costs a few hundred dollars. Once complete, your degree in "Economics" surely would be appropriate for you to...

I am not surprised; "Business System Analyst" as a title certainly implies you're tasked with improving business systems, and not computer systems. If your job duties truly match the CSA job description, then the company's decision to use that position title is mystifying. That is a really...

The letter you attached makes it clear & unambiguous that your offer is software developer. That is not a 'computer systems analyst' offer. The only adjustment you can make is to apply for a different job with different job duties. BTW, bogus CSA applications like yours are the reasons that...

I've never done an I-129 application but why would you suspect the supporting documentation for a TN application is different than at the border?

Yes, TN applications may be tougher thanks to recent directives coming from higher in government But there's no change for TN admissions once the I-94 is granted. Unless we get reports from TN permit holders telling us they were denied because they couldn't prove they still hold the employment...

Companies seem beholden to letters written by incompetent lawyers for a variety of reasons. Depending on your relationship with the company, you can sometimes get them to sign the letter you draft instead. Let us know how it goes.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but if you are a Canadian citizen I don't think country of birth matters for the purpose of TN?

What would these be for? In case the admitting officer is skeptical that the employment is still ongoing? I have never been asked for any documentation when re-entering the USA on a previously granted TN

Have you seen support / offer letters which do not have a desired start date? What do they say in lieu... "As soon as possible" or similar? I was denied (and told to come back) when my letter's start date was 2 weeks into the future. 1 week into the future feels like the most officers would...

Sounds like the first Officer was needlessly difficult. As a Canadian citizen I would not be afraid to ask for a supervisor. I'd make the case that TN-Permit + US based car registration + US DL + US based cell phone (I assume you have one) is sufficient to prove US residency, and if not, they...

I know it's tough to believe but there's not some hidden door involved with TN applications. You gather materials necessary to prove your application. Job offer, diploma, passport, related supporting documents. When you are about to start your new job, you go to a USA border entry point and...

Don't worry about what might happen with NAFTA. It's a waste of time. right now Canada-USA NAFTA is business as usual. I agree that it's time to at least look at other opportunities. If they're this difficult about such a straightforward letter, who knows what other problems they'll present...

If the border officer discovers that a TN applicant has both a US citizen spouse + a non-citizen child living in the USA, certainly they could doubt that he truly has "non-immigrant intent". His application or even re-entry could be denied for that reason. To overcome that doubt might require...

1. He will of course "officially enter" Canada. That's what happens when someone passes through CBSA. It's no more or less an official entry because he makes a u-turn immediately after clearance. 2. IMO you're wrong that Canadian border agents "do not like" Canadians telling them they're...
