Working as contractor in US

[Madhu Ram]

hi,
iam canadian citizen and have a company in US willing to hire me as contractor. However, iam not sure if i can get TN1 as 'contractor'.. From what i read on internet, only if the US company hires me as 'employee', then i can get TN1 visa. is this correct?

TN can work as contractor, as long as the client is the sponsor. Self-sponsorship is what is forbidden. The manner of payment is not.
