Mexican and Canadian NAFTA Professional Workers Can Get A TN Status

Canadian and Mexican citizens take the privilege of getting a TN Visa to work in the United States. TN status is a special status given to non-immigrant Canadian and Mexican NAFTA professionals. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an agreement signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States to allow the professionals of certain occupations of each country to work in each other countries.

On What Basis These Professionals Are Pertained To Work in US

Canadian or Mexican Professionals may work in the U.S. if:

The applicant is a citizen of Canada or Mexico; Their profession is on the NAFTA list; Position in the U.S. requires a NAFTA professional; Mexican or Canadian applicant is to work in a prearranged full-time or part-time job, for a U.S. employer. Self-employment is not permitted; Professional Canadian or Mexican citizen has the qualifications of the profession.

What Canadians Require for Acquiring TN Status?

Canadian citizens usually do not need a visa as a NAFTA Professional, although a visa can be issued to qualified TN visa applicants upon request. A Canadian citizen without a TN visa can apply at a U.S. port of entry. A Canadian residing in another country with a non-Canadian spouse and child would need a visa to enable the spouse and child to be able to apply for a visa to accompany or join the NAFTA Professional, as a TD visa holder. Canadian professionals are admitted into the USA in the TN-1 status.

What Mexicans Require for Acquiring TN Status?

Mexican citizens require a visa from a consulate in Mexico to request admission to the U.S. Once the TN visa stamp is obtained in the Mexican citizen's passport, they may enter the US in TN status in a similar manner to a Canadian citizen, and are admitted into the US in the TN-2 status.
