I am a us citizen, I have a 2 years social worker's experience working as an addiction Case manager in America. I own a bachelor's degree in economics education. I am seeking to apply for bc a NAFTA permit. Will I be allowed to be accompanied by my 3 minor kids living with their mother in Africa (my fiancee )
Are my eligible to apply for NAFTA permit?

I assume you already have a job offer in Canada under an occupation that falls on the NAFTA occupations list. You can try to have your minor children accompany you - but there are some complications. If they are U.S. citizens or green card holders, it should be relatively easy to have them come with you - although you will most likely have to wait until the essential travel ban has been lifted before you will be able to bring them to Canada. If they are not U.S. citizens or U.S. green card holders, then they will have to apply for TRVs to come to Canada. If they need TRVs, it's a bit more difficult to say if the TRVs wil be approved or not.
Note that you'll need to apply for the work permit online. Work permit applications are not being processed at the border at this time due to COVID-19.
I'm not sure that your occupation is on the list of approved occupations for a NAFTA permit, i'm pretty sure it isn't actually if you're looking for a job in the field you're working in.
