Obtain TN Visas in Toronto, ON

The knowledgeable lawyers at Pilkington Immigration Law Firm – Toronto can help clients with the process of applying for and obtaining their TN visas, along with additional immigrant US visas and Canadian visas. The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, established special economic and trade relationships among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The non-immigrant NAFTA Professional TN visa allows citizens of Canada and Mexico, as NAFTA professionals, to work in the United States in prearranged business activities for the United States or foreign employers.

For Canadian citizens, such a visa category can be applied for at the port of entry or airport pre-clearance with proper documentation from the employer, as well as evidence of experience or education qualifications. This documentation includes a letter from their prospective employer. This letter should detail items such as the professional capacity in which they will work in the United States, the purpose of their employment, length of their stay, educational qualifications with credentials evaluation if applicable, and any required fees.
