For Canadian Citizens:
You are not required to apply for a visa at a US Consulate/Embassy or to file a petition with USCIS in order to enter the United States. You may bring the required documentation directly to the US Port of Entry to request TN admission.
Required Documentation:
- Proof of Canadian citizenship
- A letter from you prospective employer detailing items such as the professional capacity in which you will work in the United States, the purpose of your employment, your length of stay, and your educational qualifications.
- A credentials evaluation (if applicable)
A US Customs and Border Patrol agent will inspect your documents to determine if you are eligible to be admitted to the US under TN status. Your entry status will be noted on your I-94 Arrival/Departure Record.
