I'm a US citizen finishing up my Electrical Engineering Degree, after I graduate I am thinking about immigrating to Ontario.

My initial plan is to find a job with a employer and come over under NAFTA, can someone help clear up my steps?

(1) Get a Job offer from a Canadian Employer
-Being that I will come in under NAFTA, they won't have to submit a LMO(NOC code 2133)
-Is there anything else needed from the employers part, what do they need to do with the HRSDC?
(2) Print out my offer letter and take it to the border and have them give me a TWP(valid for 3 years).

After year 2 on the TWP I could apply for PR status under CEC. My only fear is that my TWP will run out before my PR application is all done. How hard is it to renew a TWP if you came in under NAFTA like I want to? I know the company doesn't have to get a LMO but is there any other responsibilities the company must look into?
