Renewal of TN visa and associated costs

[CanGuy]

Is the employer obligated to reimburse the round trip air-fare from the US to Canada along with the visa cost ($70 CAD)?
Employer says its the responsibility of the employee. Is there a UCIS or some sort of policy that states this?

No, the employer is not obligated to pay any costs associated with TN petitions or filings (Unlike H1-B costs, which are by regulation to be borne by the sponsor). However, these expenses are something you would want to discuss with the sponsor; their refusal to pay would seem to indicate a lack of commitment to you as a professional employee.

Thanks Nelsona. At first I was skeptical, i think you pretty much nailed it, lack of commitment it is. Lately there has been utter chaos ever since there has been a change in management......
