Canadian Citizens working in US on TN visas

[windsorguy2003]

Does anyone know if a Canadian Citizen working in US on TN visa is considered AT PAR with a US green card holder or US citizen as far as the jobs are concerned?......people on H1b visa working in US definitely have a disadvantage because a lot of good companies don't want to sponsor H1 visas.

any thoughts???

Yes, TN is much better.

I was working for my old US company along with many Canadians Citizens. I was laid off, but they are still working as they need to go to US frequently and Being Citizens they get TN very easily.

I also can but I would need H1 which they are not ready to do at this point.
