TN Visa Jobs for Canadians & Mexicans
The TN visa lets Canadian and Mexican professionals work in the U.S. across dozens of specialty occupations under the USMCA treaty. There is no annual lottery for Canadians, and sponsorship costs are a fraction of the H-1B process, making TN one of the fastest paths to U.S. employment for qualified applicants.

Tips for Finding TN visa Jobs
Canadians can apply at the border
Unlike most work visas, Canadian TN applicants can present their documentation directly at a U.S. port of entry or pre-flight inspection station and receive approval on the spot, often the same day.
Confirm your occupation is on the TN list
TN visas are limited to specific professions listed in the USMCA treaty appendix, including engineers, accountants, scientists, and computer systems analysts. Verify your role qualifies before pursuing sponsorship.
Prepare a detailed support letter
The employer support letter is the most critical document in a TN application. It must clearly describe the role, explain why it qualifies as a TN profession, and confirm the position is temporary.
Renewals are unlimited
TN status is issued in three-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely. Each renewal requires a valid job offer but there is no limit on the number of times you can extend.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for a TN visa?
Canadian and Mexican citizens in specific professional occupations listed under the USMCA treaty. You must have a job offer from a U.S. employer for a qualifying profession, hold the required credentials (typically a bachelor's degree or professional license), and demonstrate the position is temporary.
How does TN differ from H-1B?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, lower filing costs, and faster processing. Canadians can be approved at the border in a single visit. H-1B requires a petition through USCIS, annual lottery registration, and months of processing time. TN is limited to USMCA-listed professions while H-1B covers any specialty occupation.
Can TN holders change employers?
Yes, but you need a new TN approval for each employer. Canadians can apply at the border with their new employer's support letter. Mexican nationals file a new petition through USCIS. There is no formal transfer process — each TN is tied to a specific employer and role.
Can my spouse work on TN?
TD dependents (spouse and children) can accompany you to the U.S. but cannot work. This is a key difference from the E-3 visa, where dependents receive work authorization. If your spouse needs to work, they would need their own independent work visa.
How do I find TN sponsoring employers?
Use Migrate Mate to filter jobs by TN visa sponsorship. Each listing shows the employer's verified sponsorship history, filing counts, and salary data from government records, so you can identify companies with proven TN experience before applying.
