TN Visa advice

[josep]

Dear friends,

I have almost completed one year working under a TN Visa. Employer is willing to give me the letters for renewal. It’s been a very interesting experience and I would like to take advantage and complete some of the things I could not finish, I think I could do it in a couple of months or so. Only drawback is payment, it is not that great. As TN visas are employer exclusive and I will like to find another thing in the near future and not be too much attached to my present employer too long. I wonder if it would be more advisable to renew only for a certain period of time let’s say 6 months instead of the whole year?, I wonder if that is possible?, if so, will I get multiples entries on the visa under this circumstance to move back and forth from US and Canada. I heard it’s more difficult to ask for another TN visa while you are currently working currently with one, and in some cases immigration officers cancel the present TN because the person wanted to get another one or change his present employer before the ending of the former one. I wonder is that is true?

I appreciate some advice concerning that.

Thanks for your help,

Josep

It's by law that you have to get a new TN Visa as soon as you change your employer. If you have on TN Visa and in the port of entry, you wanted to get another one, they will cancel the old and issues new one. My advice is, if you don't like the pay just switch the employer. TN is easy to get. I was on TN so many times.
