Much thanks
Thank you for this. How do you get a TN visa? Where can I get jobs in Project Management in the US? And which companies are hiring?
The best way to get a TN visa is by applying at the port of entry, as explained in the video. To find a job, you need to polish your resume and apply online. Stay tuned for a future video on how to optimize your resume to maximize your chances for landing a job faster.
Thanks for the info!
Is it mandatory to have experience in the field that you are applying or just udemy certification is enough?
No you need bachelors degree. Udemy certification does not even have any exam its just attendance certification. Also even if they have you had exams still not eligible as you need diploma as a proof.
Udemy and other online courses help develop your skills, but they aren't relevant for obtaining a TN visa.
Subbed. 🎉
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for making this video. Is it possible to provide a link of sample letter from employer?
I am unable to share that but the employer should be able to take care of the preparation of the letter.
Good video my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Question for you - if you have a finance degree and want to get a TN visa... the only "business related" options are accounting and economics under the NAFTA eligible degrees... what are the odds i can get across with my finance degree?@@ThriveInUSA-Canada
If your job and degree are at least somewhat related, you should be able to get the TN visa. Personally, my bachelor's, master's and PhD degrees were all in electrical engineering but I got my TN visa for a job in optical engineering which is a different engineering discipline, but I still had the required skills to thrive in the job.@@oliverb6967
Hi, do you know if I have to stay in US under the TN visa or if I can return to Canada to work remotely?
You don't need a TN visa to work remotely for a US company while physically being in Canada. If your existing TN visa expires after an extended stay in Canada, you can easily reapply for a new TN visa.
I'm professional in technical job in Canada but don't have Apega or PEng (still taking exams) . I do have BA degree and ex IET/CENG from uk. I'm Canadian and British cizitenship . Do I still qualified for TN visa via employer letter from Texas?
Yes, you are qualified if you have a bachelor's degree in engineering, assuming your job offer is in an engineering area related to your qualifications.
Does this allow us to travel back and fourth to/from Canada? How often we can cross the border having TN stamped already with the same employer?
Yes, you can travel to Canada and anywhere else in the world as many times you wish on a TN visa, just like any other visa.
Are marketing/communication professionals eligible for a TN visa, or do they have to take another route to work in the USA?
I'm not sure. You would have to check the list of professions eligible for TN. I haven't seen anything related to marketing and communication, but I haven't done a thorough search on that.
Does the offer letter have to state an end date as the TN visa is initially valid for three years ? I have been offered a permanent full time job, so there is no end date
The letter to the officer should state an end date within the next 3 years, but the job offer you receive is commonly a permanent normal full-time job. Luckily, many employers have a good legal team that prepares all the documentation you need. They know all the details so you don't have to worry about it.
I don’t have a bachelors degree but an associates degree in Hospitality Management.The TN visa ask for a bachelor’s. Would I still be able to apply for a hotel job with just this and by being Canadian?
You have to make sure that your profession falls in the list of those that qualify for a TN visa. Usually, a bachelor's degree is required. Feel free to check with a lawyer as well.
What about TD (TN dependent) visa when the spouse is non Canadian? For example, Husband is Canadian citizen with TN visa and wife is Iranian with Canadian PR application in process.
The non-Canadian spouse must obtain a TD visa from a US embassy, not the port of entry.
Is it easy to get appointment and how much time they take to process the TD?Thank you. @@ThriveInUSA-Canada
Not sure about that! I didn’t worry about the TD visa since I had no dependents.
I graduated as a Mobile Developer at a College in Canada, I have 2 years of experience in the area and I am a Canadian citizen.
Is it possible for TN visa with a Job Offer ?
Thank you for the video infos
See u.
Usually you would need a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, but feel free to check with a lawyer. You many find the following link helpful:

Hi, after TN visa termination, how can I apply for US greencard or US citizenship ?
You would first have to renew your TN visa or get another work visa (such as H1B) and then follow the process outlined in my other video:

Hi, I am Canadian Citizen and I am looking for a procurement(buyer) job in USA 🇺🇸 can I apply for TN visa for this job is the supply chain(Buyer)jobs falls under the TN visa category.
Thanks
You would have to look at the long list of NAFTA-eligible professions and see if you can identify as one of those.
Can you please introduce some resources to find a job? LinkedIn doesn’t really work 😢 I think the recruiters see I’m from canada and it’s a turn off for them. I also tried indeed but no response.
LinkedIn is the best resource! I found all my jobs through LinkedIn, even the American job while I was in Canada.
@@ThriveInUSA-Canada thank you. I’ll try harder
How long can I stay in US after termination on TN Visa ? Is it 60 days like H1B ?
60 days. Check out the following link from USCIS for details.
www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/options-for-nonimmigrant-workers-following-termination-of-employment
You can easily re-enter the US on a new status though.
Can you apply if you are a finance professional?
I'm not sure. You need to check if you can tie your profession to one of those listed as TN-eligible professions.
When I am working in US in TN visa, do I need to pay taxs for US and Canada both?
You will pay only US taxes on your American income from your job. You will pay tax to Canada too if you have rental income from a Canadian property while you are working in the US.
I have Canadian dividend income (eligible and qualified) upto C$50k per year (essentially tax free via dividend income) while working in Texas with say U$100k salary with TN visa. Where do I stand?
Do I need to open new usa account for stock investment trading. I have quest trade in Canada
@@riscy00 You would probably have to pay US taxes on your Canadian income since you are considered a "resident alien" for tax purposes when working on a TN visa. If you do your tax returns with a service like Turbotax, the details will be figured out for you automatically.
@@riscy00 A US-based stock brokerage account, such as Webull, would be a great option. They have no transaction fees and you obviously don't incur any FX fees (unlike many Canadian brokerages).
i live in Canada. When apply to US, if job application asks me if I am authorized to work in US, what should I say?
In the application, you can state that you are authorized to work and then in the interview process, explain to the manager that you don't need sponsorship but a letter to present to the customs officer at the US port of entry. Emphasize how easy, cheap and fast obtaining the TN visa is.
what kind of letter of support would I need to show to the border officer? can my husband get a work visa also and kids go to school??@@ThriveInUSA-Canada
The employer should send you a standard letter covering details of your job to show to the immigration officer. Your dependents can study in the US. If your spouse wants to work, he has to get his own TN visa.
Thank you.. can a person with a serving position apply at land border with a job offer?
I called border us side they said I can apply for TN at the border with necessary job letter.. but was wondering if I had a job offer in a restaurant as a server would the TN be given to a Canadian ?
@@ThriveInUSA-Canada
There is a list of professions which qualify for a TN visa (such as engineer, scientist, and many more). I don't think serving positions are included in the list. @@user-rj5ld4pq1h
Canadian PR holders can apply TN visa??
No, only citizens are eligible. You can get the TN visa as soon as you become a citizen and get your Canadian passport.
Hi,
I am Canadian Citizen and need help with TN visa.
Is there any way to talk to you? please I need your help.
If you have a question, I will try to respond here in the comments section.
What are the Tax Liability on TN visa
You would be considered a "resident alien" and pay tax just like an American.
@@ThriveInUSA-Canadayour video is awesome! On the same note, what’s the tax liability to Canada side?
You won't pay taxes to Canada from your US job's income. If you maintain rental property or other Canadian-sourced investments while working in the US, you will pay Canadian taxes on those.@@lliu5763
