Hey Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions.

I am a Canadian looking to work full time in the US and was hoping to obtain a TN visa.

What would be the best possible way to achieve this.

Would it be better for me to first find a company interested in sponsoring me? I feel this would be ideal but may cause potential friction as it is more work on the employer.

Or would it be better to apply with an immigration lawyer such as your self? If so how much does something like this cost and how long does it take?

Sorry for the long winded question and thanks for your help!



I would probably get your background evaluated by an attorney to see if a TN is even an option (a quick process) and then look for work armed with the knowledge that a TN is possible.
