The Initial Case

In the competitive landscape of U.S. immigration, success is determined by precision, preparation, and the right legal guidance. One of our valued clients, a Canadian citizen, reached out to us in 2023 for assistance in obtaining TN status as a Management Consultant for a U.S. employer. With our focused approach and detailed application process, his visa was approved without issue.

New Opportunities, Familiar Support

Moving forward to 2025, our client found himself at an important crossroads. Having received multiple new job offers from employers in the U.S., he once again entrusted our team with reviewing each opportunity to determine which roles would qualify under the TN Management Consultant category..

Evaluating Job Offers for TN Eligibility

The Management Consultant category is narrowly defined, requiring temporary, strategic advisory work, not direct operational roles. While many offers may seem suitable, they often fall short upon closer review. Recognizing this, we conducted a detailed analysis of each offer, evaluating responsibilities, employer expectations, and alignment with TN requirements under NAFTA/USMCA. After narrowing down the options, our client chose the strongest fit, and we immediately prepared the new TN application.

Same Day Approval at U.S. Border

On the day of his border appointment, the client presented the application we had meticulously put together.  As a result, the border officer quickly approved his application on the day he applied.

Client Review

“From start to finish, Christine, Lindsay and her team were insightful and patient. If anyone needs to go through the visa process, I would highly recommend Christine and her team. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to get my visa approved. Thank you once again Christine and Lindsay!”

Conclusion

This story underscores the value of experienced legal guidance when applying for a TN visa, especially under the highly scrutinized Management Consultant category. From job selection to application preparation, every detail matters. Our team helps Canadian professionals navigate this process with confidence, offering the insight and support needed for successful border approvals.
