[faipakistan]

i have a question. i am canadian citizen and my wife is PR card holder.

My wife has 6 months left to complete 1095 days. she has moved with me to USA. So i need to know does she need to come back and complete her 6 months or can she apply based on the reason that her spouse has moved to USA.
I am in US on TN visa and my wife on TD visa.

One question:
Post accepting the job in the US (with a TN visa) and making an entry, are there restrictions on performing remote work for an extended period by physically being in Canada?

Essentially earn in USD, stay in Canada?
Pretty sure there is no issue from a Canadian immigration standpoint, but how about the US?
Does a TN visa mean that I need to be physically present in the US for most of the duration?

I know someone who did this. Worked for Disney using TN visa from Canada. Is it legal? No idea.

I got my TN status today but they didn’t put any stamp or any visa in the passport. Is it common? They told me to show I-94 at the border crossing. My I94 is showing TN status until 2026

Hi,

I got TN visa two weeks back, they stamped the VISA in my passport. They haven't issued a I-94 and asked me to download it from online.

It depends on the state you are going to be in. Most of them should have exchange programs for the DL, assuming you have a Canadian License without restrictions.

Btw, do you mind sharing how the TN process was? What job category did you apply under, documents submitted etc?

No she needs to complete 1095 days in Canada. While applying for Canadian citizenship you fill the "Physical Presence Calculator" form where she needs to mention her absence ( US stay or any exit from Canada ) from Canada and that is not going to be counted towards her 1095 days. My advice will be to come back.. complete 1095 days , then apply for Canadian citizenship and then leave. Then she just needs to come back twice to give citizenship test and take oath ( Note: Even if they are online has to be attended from a Canadian location ) when they are scheduled.

Hi,
Is it mandatory to have i129 filed by the employer? Can we skip it and just land at the border with empoyment offer letter and other documents? i129 processing takes time and money ( for premium service ). Can it be avoided by landing directly?

Not mandatory for Canadian citizens, Mandatory for Mexico

Canadian Citizens
If you are a Canadian citizen, then you are not required to apply for a TN visa at a U.S. consulate.

You may establish eligibility for TN classification at the time you seek admission to the United States by presenting required documentation to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at certain CBP-designated U.S. ports of entry or at a designated pre-clearance/pre-flight inspection station. You must provide the following documentation to the CBP officer:

• Proof of Canadian citizenship;
• Letter from your prospective employer detailing items such as the professional capacity in which you will work in the United States, the purpose of your employment, your length of stay, and your educational qualifications; and
• Credentials evaluation (if applicable), together with any applicable fees.

If you don't mind, how did you find a job in US, did you use any specific portal? You need a job offer for TN Visa right?

Start with indeed.com, LinkedIn. Quite a few companies are aware of TN visa for Canadians.
However, a lot of companies opened their Legal Entities in Canada to save on salaries, so they may want to keep you in Canada.

I have quite a few acquaintances who are working in the US with TN visa and live in Canada. That is the way to get US salary and afford living in here!
