Canadians working in the U.S. and Obtaining a TN Visa

By Glenn Letham
How Long Does It Take To Get A TN-1 Approved?

The TN Visa can be obtained very fast (my first TN took about 1 hour to be approved and simply required myself and my family to make a trip to a border crossing). This relatively simple process has given professional Canadians access to the U.S. marketplace.

If applying by mail it will take anywhere from 30-90 days to get final notice (mine took roughly 60 days). Some things to keep in mind:
  • apply no sooner than 4 months prior to your current Visa's expiration date
  • apply at least 4 weeks prior to expiration date
  • don't worry if you haven't received final approval before your expiration date - you have 240 days to stay in the country once you've received a confirmation of receipts (INS Form I-797C)
