The TN-1 Visa for Professionals (NAFTA)

As is provided for in the REGULATIONS, individuals who are citizens of the participating countries of the NAFTA agreement may be granted temporary entry into Canada without the necessity of the application procedures commonly required for employment authorizations. In such cases, the applicant must demonstrate an offer of employment in a field contained within these provisions, as well as establishing that he/she meets the requirements (i.e., citizenship; work experience and/or education) of the NAFTA agreement for professionals.

The following are the professions and the requirements contained within the provisions of the NAFTA agreement:

( 1 ) A business person seeking temporary entry under these provisions may also perform training functions relating to the profession, including conducting seminars.

( 2 ) "State/Provincial license" and "state/provincial/federal license" mean any document issued by a state, provincial, or federal government, that permits a person to engage in a regulated activity or profession.

( 3 ) "Post-Secondary Diploma" means a credential issued, on completion of two or more years of post-secondary education, by an accredited academic institution in Canada or the United States.

( 4 ) "Post-Secondary Certificate" means a certificate issued, on completion of two or more years of post-secondary education at an academic institution, by the federal government of Mexico or a state government in Mexico, and academic institution recognized by the federal government or a state government, or an academic institution created by federal or state law.

( 5 ) A business person in this category must be seeking temporary entry to work in direct support of professions in agricultural sciences, astronomy, biology, chemistry, engineering, forestry, geology, geo-physics, meteorology or physics.

( 6 ) A business person in this category must be seeking temporary entry to perform in a laboratory chemical, biological, hematological, immunologic, microscopic, or bacteriological tests and analyses for diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease.
