JUst to clarify, you already have a TN and entered US with it already? In that case, your status should be TN already (check CBP records) Renewing TN is straight fwd and you can technically renew as many times as you want (as opposed to H1 which has a 6-yr limit). Given this, it might be better...
Yep...you are allowed to have multiple TNs. If the officer asks, you can tell that there is a better opportunity that you are planning on pursuing (this assumes that your application is solid for the second TN).
Btw do *not* give notice to your current employer until you have procured a new...
There's nothing to be worried about at all. If the border agent asks, you just tell them that its a better opportunity. Moreover, you're allowed multiple TNs so i wouldn't worry one single bit.
Good luck
guess no other way but for you to arrange for a ride to the border again OR get the TN letter updated (not sure if the letter has to be POE specific) and take a flight...
you can always take a flight to vancouver and then on the way back, request for TN there. OR rent a car yourself for a day and take the trip to the border and get this taken care of
Bottom line...without the second TN, you will not be authorized to work ... period. So if I were you, I'd get...
next time, its better if you drive yourself across the border. When you enter, tell the guard this: "I am here to request TN status for my job". Please do **not** use the word visa. You are a Canadian and Canadians are visa exempt. From how you explained things, its clear officer got confused...
Your "temporary stay" in the US is aided by the fact that your letter from your employer will clearly state they intend to hire you temporarily for a period of X-months/years (with max being 3 yrs).
You had to show Canadian ties since you were applying for B2. With TN, you shouldnt have to...
as Nelsona mentioned, you need to be "entering" the country. If you go to the internal POE, you are already in the US. You can try if you wish but they will not process your application.
As for your question about how long will you get the TN for ... it will be for the duration on your TN...
just to add....if the job function of the job offer that you have is engineering in nature, your Bachelors degree would likely be more helpful than the MS one
Title has no bearing on the decision to grant youTN. It's your educational credentials and proof of citizenship that are most important. Your education should support the nafta category under which you are applying e.g. if you have an engineering degree and your job function will be of...
Actually that is not true. As nelsona said...be truthful. When I had my interview in the US, I told the officer I have a job interview. His only Q was: "so your employer will arrange for work authorization if you get selected". My answer is was affirmative and he had no issues letting me in. The...
hi Alocia,
dont worry about the administration. Instead focus on a solid TN package
The process to get TN (if you qualify) is much more straight fwd as compared to H1 process
your employer doesnt have to do much. All they need to do is to type a "TN format" letter making a case for your hiring...
no they wont...i think thats what nelsona is trying to say....
you are approved...they will just issue you i94 and you will be on your way to your job....
