TN Visa denial twice (even with USCIS pre approval)

Haha funny to think that one of Canada's largest international POE wouldn't have gotten that memo eh

Some officers have an ego. And they are simply flexing their muscles, regardless of the memo.

hope op try another poe and report us the latest experience.

well kinda sucks I went to YVR twice now then :/ Do you have any data/evidence of this memo sent to POEs?

Another note: The officer sorta laughed when he saw the cronin memo, I think they directly found a counter argument against it at YVR so be cautious

I'm going to speculate that some border officers are treating "Software Engineer" as a sham title for "Software Developer", the way one might treat "Waste Disposal Engineer" as a sham title for "Garbageman" (rightly or wrongly).

However if one were to attempt entry as a "Software Engineer" arguing one ought to be classified under NAFTA as an "Engineer" then they'd certainly need a degree in "Engineering".

I don't think border agents are going to allow someone to eat both halves of the cake, i.e., claiming that the term "Engineering" slides an applicant around the limitations of the CSA category, but then claiming that a clearly CSA-related degree fulfills the education requirements for this "Engineering" position.
