Microsoft L60, 170k, 1.5 YOE I have my TN visa original approval notice on hand already. I will be flying from Toronto -> Vancouver -> Seattle Just wondering, do I perform the TN visa pre-clearance in Vancouver or Toronto? I am worry because it is a domestic -> international flight, I only have 1 hour layover in Vancouver and I can't collect my checked in luggage in Vancouver as it is a domestic flight. Also, how long does the TN visa pre-clearance takes in general? I don't think 1 hour is enough is it, loll.
1-2 hours. That was slow! I drove from Montréal to Lacolle border crossing (New York State). Took 5 minutes.
Make sure you have start + end date on your application papers. The agent was stingy for me because I had start date and duration (3 years), but no end date. Too hard to count I guess 🙄
Well, my offer doesn't have a end date, what to deal with that?
Contact the law firm that did your application and request for it. I was able to get throught eventually but took a good extra 20-30 min than regular process. I heard that customs might be a bit easier in Vancouver if you go throught it over there.
Almost 3 years later but penguin 0_0, how was your experience getting TN at YVR?
Immigration will happen at secondary in pre clearance at Van. It takes from 1-2 hours
Did you do this recently? How was the experience?
Did it >5 years ago so not so recent. The wait/processing time was long but painless. I didn’t get any much questions or anything
