Find 73,000+ TN jobsHow 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.

Which TN jobs pay the most?
Physicians & Surgeons pays the most, with a median listed salary of $320,000 across 630 TN listings, followed by Dentistry ($300,000) and Robotics Engineering ($180,000). The figures are the median of salaries listed on Migrate Mate for each role, updated July 2026.
Who qualifies for TN sponsorship?
TN status is available to citizens of Canada and Mexico under the USMCA profession list. Eligible applicants must hold a job offer from a U.S. employer in a qualifying profession, most require at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, though some accept equivalent work experience. Canadians apply directly at a U.S. port of entry; Mexicans apply at a U.S. consulate. TN does not allow dual intent and cannot be used to pursue permanent residence.
Do these TN salaries include bonuses and equity?
No. Each figure is the base salary an employer listed on the job posting. Total compensation, including any bonus, equity, or overtime, is set per offer and usually sits on top of the listed base. Pay within a role also varies with seniority, specialization, and location, which is why the range around each median can be wide. Check the individual listing and confirm the full package with the employer.
How do I find a high-paying TN job?
The highest-paying TN roles concentrate in specialized technical and licensed professional fields where employers publish pay openly. Migrate Mate lists roles only from employers with a verified history of sponsoring work visas, so you can filter by role and see the salary each employer has listed. Focus on roles that match your background, since TN requires the role to match your credentials, and compare the listed salaries across employers before you apply.
