Hello,
I am currently working in the Bay area using a TN Visa ("Engineer" classification). I was actually initially rejected by a CPB Officer at Pearson Airport (Toronto, Canada) back in Mid January. There reason for rejection was because I am an engineering manager and he saw me as a manager more than as an engineer.
Then my company sent me down to the Detroit Windsor Tunnel to cross at the POE because they hired an immigration lawyer to go with me. I got approved with no hassle or problems with the CPB officer there.
I am planning on going back to visit my family in the near future and will be flying through Pearson again. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with traveling with a TN? I have heard some good and bad stories.
My lawyer has said that there isn't any increased risk with my initial denial at pearson but that traveling with a TN has the possibility of something going wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help!
