TN Visa Requirements for Computer Systems Analysts (CSA)

What is a Computer Systems Analyst?

A Computer Systems Analyst (CSA) helps organizations improve efficiency by optimizing technology investments. Unlike Computer Programmers, who write and test code, or Computer Scientists, who focus on theoretical analysis, CSAs apply technology to achieve business goals and improve processes.

TN Visa Eligibility Criteria for Computer Systems Analysts

Educational Requirements

To qualify for a TN visa as a Computer Systems Analyst, applicants must meet one of the following educational criteria:

  1. Bachelor’s Degree: A Baccalaureate or Licenciatura Degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  2. Post-Secondary Diploma + Experience: A post-secondary diploma (a two-year degree from Canada or the U.S.) plus three years of relevant professional experience.
  3. Post-Secondary Certificate + Experience: A post-secondary certificate (a two-year degree from Mexico) plus three years of relevant professional experience.

Important Notes:

  • IT certificates do not qualify. Certifications in specific software or programming languages do not meet TN visa educational requirements.
  • Diplomas and certificates from outside North America do not qualify. This includes three-year degrees from other countries.

Credential Evaluation

If your degree was obtained outside the U.S., Canada, or Mexico, you must have it formally evaluated to determine if it meets U.S. educational standards.

Proof of Experience

If applying with a diploma or certificate, you must provide evidence of at least three years of relevant work experience. Secure letters from current or previous employers verifying your experience. A resume alone is not sufficient.
