TN Visa Professionals

The TN (Treaty National) visa program allows US employers to quickly hire qualified professionals from Canada and Mexico under the USMCA agreement. This visa is ideal for professional roles like engineers, accountants, and technical specialists.

Applicants eligible for a TN visa must:

• Be citizens of Canada or Mexico

• Have a job offer in a USMCA-listed profession

• Meet the educational or licensing requirements for that role

Over 60 professions are eligible for TN visas, including engineers, accountants, consultants, teachers, scientists, and medical professionals.
