Can a Canadian citizen who has been working in the States for 2 years apply for unemployment benefits? Both of my friends have lost their job last week. Both have TN working visas but didn\'t apply for green card. One has been working in the States for nearly 2 years while the other is only working for 1 year. Are they qualify to receive unemployment benefits? They are planning to apply GC in future. I don\'t think this would jeopardize their cases in future but I would like to hear some advises from you guys. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

More questions.
Canadian:
Thanks for your advise. A few more questions. Even though their TN visas are still valid for a few months, do they have to go back to Canada ASAP? Can they stay here as a "visitor" (don\'t know how to proof that)? They are worried that they may not have a "legal" status to stay in US. If they are able to find a job soon, can they change get their new TN visa in the States?
