Hiring From Canada or Mexico? The TN Visa Makes It Simple

If your top job candidate is from Mexico or Canada, the visa process might be MUCH easier than you think. Here's what HR managers need to know about the TN visa option:


We helped a blockchain developer from Canada secure a TN visa in under 2 weeks, with little effort required by HR. He's now working for a US tech company making a competitive salary. The company was so impressed by his work, that we already started the Green Card process on his behalf. 


What makes the TN visa different from other visa options?


For context, this visa option is part of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA, formerly NAFTA).


It's designed to be:


  • Faster to process.

  • Less paperwork-intensive.

  • More straightforward than many other visa types.


Here's why it could be perfect for your next hire:


𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:


  • For Canadians: Can be approved right at the airport/border.

  • For Mexicans: Requires a visa, but with expedited processing.

  • Can process any time of the year.

  • No lottery process or annual visa caps.

  • No USCIS filing fees! (small visa fee required).


𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:


  • Canadian or Mexican citizenship.

  • A profession that is on the USMCA list (i.e. doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, accountants, software developers).

  • Valid Job offer from a US employer.

  • Appropriate qualifications for the role.


𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀:


  • Valid for up to 3 years initially.

  • Can be extended indefinitely with continued employment.

  • Spouses and children can join as dependents (they can study but not work).

  • Can be a stepping stone to Green Card sponsorship.


For HR managers and business owners hesitant about visa sponsorship, this could be your hidden advantage in today's competitive talent market.
