How the TN visa works

TN is for citizens of Canada and Mexico working in one of the professions on the USMCA list. There is no cap, no lottery, and no petition for most applicants. With a job offer and an employer support letter, Canadian citizens are visa-exempt and present their documents at a U.S. port of entry, receiving status the same day; Mexican citizens apply for a TN visa at a U.S. consulate first. The exception is someone already in the U.S. who changes to or extends TN status, where the employer files Form I-129 with USCIS. What matters is that your degree or credentials match a listed profession and that the offer is for a role on that list. TN does not allow dual intent, so you cannot use it to pursue a green card. TN is granted for up to three years and renews indefinitely.

Research TN Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which research organizations sponsor the most TN visas?

Northwell Health has the most, with 180 live TN jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by SUNY Upstate Medical University (122) and Texas A&M University (111). Across the 10 research organizations on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 687 live TN jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for TN sponsorship?

TN status is available only to Canadian and Mexican nationals working in a profession listed on the USMCA TN profession schedule. Most qualifying roles require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, though a small number of occupations accept equivalent experience or a specific credential in place of a degree. The applicant must have a job offer from a U.S. employer in a qualifying role and cannot hold or intend to hold permanent resident status.

How much does TN sponsorship cost?

The employer pays the required government fees, not the candidate. Base fees run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the employer and processing speed, plus legal costs. Recent policy changes have added significant fees for some filings and the amounts have been in flux, so check the current figure before you rely on it.

How do I get TN sponsorship from a top sponsor?

Once you have a written job offer from a U.S. research employer in a qualifying USMCA profession, your employer provides a support letter describing the role, your qualifications, and the intended period of employment. Canadian nationals present that letter and supporting credentials directly at a U.S. port of entry, where a Customs and Border Protection officer adjudicates the TN on the spot. Mexican nationals apply at a U.S. consulate abroad before traveling. TN status is granted for up to three years and can be renewed indefinitely.
