NAFTA work permit (pre-approved at visa office)

[diotime]

Hello,

I would like to apply for a NAFTA work permit through the New York embassy. However, there is no indication anywhere on CIC's website on how to proceed to send a complete file. Should I just send the documents needed (employer's contract, diploma, passport, work attestations) to the Canadian embassy? Is there any form to fill out, any fee to pay, any other procedure to be done? Can it be done online or it has to be sent by mail to the visa office in New York?

I know that doing the NAFTA work permit at the border is more simple, but I'd prefer to do it ahead of time through the visa office. So I would like to know what should I exactly send to the visa office and how?

Thank you for your help!

Interesting. Didn't know this is an option. So is the TN visa a work visa also or is that a separate thing?

I got mine in person, it was pretty straightforward. That said, the CIC website had a web form for applying for work permits - I believe that is what you need to do.
