TN Visas for Canadian Professionals: Cross-Border Employment Made Simple

Securing a USMCA (formerly NAFTA) TN status shouldn’t delay your career. Empire Immigration Law, PLLC provides end-to-end legal guidance for professionals and employers—from document preparation to successful processing at the US/Canada border.

Fast-Track Your Career in the US

The TN nonimmigrant classification permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to seek temporary entry into the United States to engage in business activities at a professional level. Unlike other employment visas, Canadian citizens can apply for TN status directly at a US Class A port of entry, bypassing lengthy USCIS processing times—if their application is perfectly prepared.

Do You Qualify? Common TN Professions

To qualify for TN status, your profession must be on the approved USMCA list, and you must possess the specific educational credentials required. We frequently assist professionals in fields such as:

  • Engineers & Architects 
  • Accountants & Economists 
  • Management Consultants
  • Computer Systems Analysts
  • Registered Nurses & Allied Health Professionals 
  • Scientific Technicians & Researchers 
  • (Don’t see your profession? Contact us to review the full list of 60+ eligible categories).
