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.

TN Sponsors for Assistant Professors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most TN visas for Assistant Professors?

University of Florida has the most, with 128 live TN jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by University of Kentucky (128) and Texas A&M University (113). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 784 live TN jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for TN sponsorship?

TN visa eligibility is restricted to Canadian and Mexican nationals working in a profession on the USMCA approved list. Most listed professions require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, though some accept equivalent credentials or years of work experience. Assistant Professor roles typically qualify under university and college teaching or a related USMCA category, provided the applicant holds the appropriate academic credentials.

Do assistant professors qualify for TN as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Assistant professors typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard TN is built around. What matters is that the employer classifies the role under a matching occupation code and that your degree lines up with it.

How do I get TN sponsorship from a top sponsor?

Once a university extends a conditional offer for an Assistant Professor role, the employer provides a support letter confirming the position, the USMCA profession category, and your qualifications. Canadian nationals present that letter and credentials directly at a U.S. port of entry without a prior visa stamp. Mexican nationals apply at a U.S. consulate abroad. TN status is granted for three years and can be renewed without any cap or limit on the number of renewals.
