The Challenge: Cross-Border Expertise Needed
Our client, a manufacturing company with operations in both Canada and the U.S., identified the need for a Canadian employee to intermittently enter the U.S. as a Chemical Engineer. The employee’s specialized expertise was critical for supporting major ongoing projects.
The Solution: TN Visa Application
Given the employee’s Canadian citizenship and bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, we determined that the TN visa was the best solution. The TN visa, established under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), allows Canadian professionals in certain occupations, including Chemical Engineers, to work in the U.S. on a temporary basis.
We worked closely with the company and the employee to prepare a well-documented TN application. The application emphasized the employee’s qualifications and explained how his role and expertise aligned with the specific requirements of the TN category.
The Result: Successful TN Approval
The TN application was submitted at the U.S. border, where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reviewed and approved it. The employee was granted TN status for three years, enabling him to travel to the U.S. as needed to support the company’s ongoing projects.
This TN approval allows our client to efficiently utilize their employee’s expertise across borders, ensuring their U.S. projects receive the support they need. If your company has cross-border needs or questions about the TN visa, we’re here to assist. Contact us today to learn how we can help!
