Hi Everyone,

Do you guys know if there are specific times to apply for TN.
Are immigration officers available 24/7 to complete TN's at Port of Entry?

e.g. Toronto Pearson Airport-- term 1, if a flight is scheduled to leave at 9:00 am what time would you suggest to go to through the U.S customs/Immigration??

Thanks so much :D

Have a great weekend
 
Officers are available for seven days but not 24 hrs.
I heard that at Toronto they deal TN till 9 PM , Mon - Friday. (just heard , not sure)
Try to give your TN document to Officer at least 1:30 hrs before your flight time. As on few busy days/trimming is is not uncommon to take them more than one hrs.

Here's the number at Pearson. Call ahead, get a name and let them know why you are coming. You might want to see if they can review your documents ahead of time by FAX. Since you already have the academic qualifications, the only key is that the offer letter is written up correctly.

Lester B. Pearson International Airport

I received my TN today... I was very nervous but i have to say, the process was so so simple. I was lucky to have a very simple and positive experience. I was asked very few questions and my TN was issued within 1 hour. The officer was friendly and had no issues.

I provided all the required documents and I am now in Dallas with my TN Status. I also went to apply for my SSN.

I am glad I did not spend the $1500 for a lawyer as the whole process is straight forward as long as all categories/edu match.

Thanks for all your advice along the way.
 
I am very close to my 4th renewal, in the past I always went to the border to renew. This time I am thinking to renew by mail.

A little scared though as I have to check the box and say YES about the immigration intension as there were PERM and I-140 was applied for me.

did someone wrote an article on how to renew TN by mail like TN->GC curiosgeorge article?

thank
