I recently got into triplebytes hiring platform as a Canadian. I was looking forward to participating in their "SUPER WEEK" but found out it's only available to candidates with a valid us work visa. I spoke with my recruiter and he was under the impression that I could apply for a US work visa without a job offer at the border. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before. Could I show up at the US border and apply for a TN Visa with just my credentials?
You cannot. Src: two tn approvals. On one now. There are two essential things: A) job offer B) a degree. For eng roles, there are some hard requirements for engineering / cs type of degrees.
Definitely not. You need to have your contract / offer in hand at the border with start and end dates.
Good luck my fellow maple blooded Canadian
Don’t believe so. I’ve always had to show proof of employment contract and duration when applying for TN at border.
So only way in is if a company willing to sponsor you gives you an offer :(
