-- 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...

-- 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...

We don't want to go to "another thing" - The CS degree is not an engineering degree - does not matter who runs it - that's it! Like what Nelson said "you do have to have an engineering degree to work as an engineer under TN".

The Computer Science department is a separate department and does NOT come under any other department. Your post is rather confusing than clarifying!

-- Your TN for "X" does not get cancelled because of your new TN for "Y". That said, you can still work for "X" with your existing TN (that was issued to work for "X").

No issues, I have traveled to and from Calgary while in your situation.

-- That means you are no longer on TN after 365 days, for the next 3 months. You either leave the US and come back after 3 months (on a new TN) or apply for change of status (to B2) and then get a new TN once you are ready to join your job.

-- It is exactly the other way. The I-94 date is more important - one can stay in the country as long as the I-94 is valid, even if the visa expires. You become out of status after the expiry of your I-94.

It is possible to go from 2) to 1) by filling form I-824. I am not sure if 1) to 2) is possible.

-- Yes.

She will need a new visa only after the expiry of her current visa. She is tied to your TN status and therefore as long as you are on TN and her existing visa is valid, she does not need a new visa.

-- Yes.

-- No, your first TN is still valid. (You will have two valid TNs) -- You are allowed to work for your current employer as long as the TN status for that employer is valid.

-- Yes, if it is/was valid for 5 years (and it seems so in your case).

If you read the simplified form carefully, you will notice that no guarantor is needed and there is a section for your credit card information.

Ok. I thought getting a TN requires you to be sponsored by your US employer (and that relationship can be based on either W2 or 1099).

There is no connection between being on TN+1099 and eligibility for starting your GC. It is possible to get your GC without the H1B route - just like many others on this forum did.

Yes, it will be ok as long as you do not get paid for your work.

-- You cannot just move to Canada without being transferred by your company to Canada for working. You need to apply for the Cdn PR status in order to move to Canada. -- At higher level - File Cdn taxes and get foreign tax credit on your US return. You might need a tax consultant depending...

-- Yes, as long as you present the necessary documents proving your relationship (marriage certificate)
