Canadian, is TN visa a form of sponsorship? The HR asked me this question but my short answer is no because it is not H1B they truly require “sponsorship”
It is, you don’t have prior authorization to work in the US you need sponsorship including a TN
What is sponsorship? The company pays its lawyers to file a form on your behalf to uscis and get approval on your behalf, pay all necessary fees involved. TN visa - company gives you an offer just like they do to GC holders/ citizens. You print the offer letter and cross the border and pay the fee yourself. Go give your proof of work auth to company, for I9 (even citizens have to do i9, just that documents are different) In what part is the company sponsoring you?
It's absolutely a sponsorship. You cannot obtain a TN visa without company hiring you and providing documentation to CBP. You aren't self sponsoring your right to work in the U.S. Your right to work and remain in America is fully dependent on your employment.
By that logic, companies sponsor the life(house, clothes, food, car, health insurance etc) of US citizen workers. Without the salary, the person would be broke, homeless, killed by lack of security, no health insurance, starve to death without able to pay for food ...
US citizens won't be deported. TNs will be.
Say no. Explain later.
