I currently live in Canada and was applying for a role at Apple HQ. I did the first technical screen and then had an interview with the hiring manager where everything was positive and he said he would like to invite me for the virtual on-site. I’m happy about it and then a few days later the recruiter says that the organization is not hiring people outside the US at this time and ends the process. First, I’m a Canadian citizen so I wouldn’t even need a sponsorship for the TN visa so that makes no sense. Second, both my interviewers knew where I was from so I would have expected them to bring it up if it was an issue. Third, it seems weird that a company the size of Apple would care about this ... Is this normal for Apple?
Not sure about Apple’s policy, but heard most of the WITCH companies only recruit citizen, green card holder and H4 now. It’s a tough time for people who require visas.
True this
Don't confuse sponsorship with support. Sponsorship can mean different things to different visa holders. You absolutely need to have employer support in terms of offer letter, qualifications and length of stay. They also need to document why you and your education/experience are qualified under a TN category. This process although easier than most visas can still take 4+ weeks if you want it pre-approved by USCIS. It can be done in 1 day if you do it yourself at the border but you run the risk of failing and being rejected permanently for this role. They have enough people applying that they don't need to deal with this at the moment unfortunately.
Apple recruiters are known to ghost without reason. They are worse second only to Amazon recruiters. Apple is secretive so they won’t tell you why the process ends abruptly

TN still requires sponsorship, just way way easier.
Not really. You just show up at the border with an offer letter. No sponsorship
