Is Dorval Airport in Montreal a good POE for a first TN? Anybody knows?
I have everything needed for a CSA, Bac in Information Systems, canadian citizen and job offer letter for a CSA.

People can you please share experiences at this POE please? I appreciate. Thanks!!

Carmen,

I got my first TN at PE-Trudeau Montreal airport last year and I renewed it this year there and the people was really nice with me. You need to show your paper at the custom officer and he will bring you in the office to meet with an other officer. That other officer will fill your TN and he will bring you to pay it in an other place.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response!! Do we need a return ticket or not? Because the airline I was watching does not sell tickets further than 10 months down the road! Please let me know.

Thanks!

Return ticket is only a requirement for tourists, not for those allowed to live in US (like TN).
 
Is there any specific schedule when the Nafta officer is available, or I can go anytime? will a weekday in business hours be safer? anybody has the phone to call? Thanks!!

They are open 7 days a week and I think they have the same hour as the custom. For a phone number, I don't have it anymore but anyway they don't answer often...

Just arrive early for your plane (you don't need a return ticket) and they will help you. The first time I arrived at the airport more than 3.5hours and I had a lot of time in case they ask questions and I was able to eat after at the resto-bar after the customs. The last time my lift for the airport drop me less than 2hours before (he had forget me...) and I was really stress but I didn't miss my plane and I got my new TN. But it's suggested to be 3-4hours before the plane and I agree with that at less if it take less time you have time.

Do you know if I should get TN visa before actually checking in to your flight? Can I get the TN status several days before the flight? Do customs agents expect that you fly the same day when you get the TN status?

I'm not sure if I can check in, pass all security checks and then get the TN status from the US border agents who check your passport and boarding pass (located before you enter the secure gate areas)?

Should I get the TN status visa in the main airport lobby area located at the following address?
Montreal Preclearance
Montreal Trudeau International Airport
975 Romeo Vachon Boulevard, North
Room TT 2.400
Dorval, Quebec, Canada H4Y 1H1
Port Director

Many thanks!
 
No, TN is an entry status, you can only get it at airport on the day you fly out of canada. The office is for other matters which don't involve entering US physically. Don't show up there asking for TN, or you will be laughed out of the office.

You need to allow an extra hour or two to get TN, which means not booking a 06:00 flight.
