Anyone have any experience with TN visa as Canadian Citizen while trying to move to USA?
It seems like there is a huge lack of awareness of this visa amongst employers.
And anyone who knows this Visa groups it under "sponsorship required". But TN visa doesn't really need a sponsorship. Just an offer letter from the employer

Yeah lots of employers don't know it, unfortunately. Large multinationals probably might, but even large companies that only hire in the US won't be familiar with TNs.

I've gotten conflicting advice from people on how to handle it with employers. Some people have told me to not tick the 'need sponsorship' on job applications, and in an interview say that "you qualify for TN status, that you only need an offer letter and you handle everything else, there's no sponsorship/lottery/costs for the employer". (And you just pay the $50 at the border yourself)

But I've had others advise against this, that some employers don't like it if you do this. Or they might be spooked by the fact you need approval at the border, and not want you risk you get denied by a border guard.

So I'm not advising what you should do, just passing on what I've heard.

That helps and it's in line with what I've heard. I have a line in my resume saying I don't need sponsorship and I'm eligible for TN visa.
No luck yet with interviews... But that might be more because of how bad the job market is right now

Most big companies know what it is and deal with it routinely. I am sure there isn't as much awareness with smaller companies that have never been through the process.

That's interesting. I haven't had any luck yet. I guess I gotta keep trying
