Dear US recruiters: what is your take/advice for someone (Canadian) who is looking for a job that would qualify under TN status? Are the treated the same as if they required an H1B in your eyes? Do they have a shot at your company and what kind of co is it?

My understanding is that since the new hire can obtain the status/visa when crossing the border, there is no application processing time, and is not costly (and much less hassle than an H1B) then it should be a lot easier.

TN visas are very easy to obtain especially for tech degrees. Companies at large companies understand TN is very easy but for smaller companies, they may be less receptive. How you can overcome the barrier is by having a very good understanding of how the TN process works and communicating that confidently. I had a lawyer ready at stand by and told the companies I am okay to cover the fees. Large companies cover this cost usually.

Thanks for your input! I do have a sense that the smaller companies aren't aware... I've also met 3rd party recruiters and recruiters for large companies who don't seem to be familiar with the TN so I like your thought to get very prepared about it.

In my experience, companies are very receptive because it means less work on their part. Definitely don't let it be a barrier or stop you from applying.

I would answer ‘Yes’ to that question. TN is not a sponsorship.

it’s easy to get a TN, and many companies who say they don’t sponsor visas will still sponsor a TN.
