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 Principal Engineers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most TN visas for Principal Engineers?

Amazon.com has the most, with 107 live TN jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Jobot (131) and HDR (142). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 750 live TN jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for TN sponsorship?

TN visa eligibility is restricted to Canadian and Mexican nationals. The position must appear on the USMCA profession list, which includes engineers, accountants, scientists, and other defined categories. Most listed professions require a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, though some accept a combination of education and work experience. The role offered by the U.S. employer must match the profession category, and applicants must intend to return home at the end of authorized stay.

Do principal engineers qualify for TN as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Principal engineers 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 U.S. employer offers a qualifying role, they provide a support letter describing the position, the profession category, the anticipated duration, and the applicant's credentials. Canadian nationals present that letter, along with proof of citizenship and educational credentials, directly at a U.S. port of entry, no advance visa appointment is required. Mexican nationals apply at a U.S. consulate abroad and receive a TN visa stamp before entry. Both pathways grant an initial period of up to three years, renewable indefinitely while employment continues.
