TN (Trade NAFTA) status is a nonimmigrant work authorization available to citizens of Canada and Mexico under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). It is one of the fastest and most straightforward ways for qualifying North American professionals to work legally in the United States.
Unlike the H-1B visa, TN status has no annual lottery cap, can often be obtained at the border or port of entry for Canadian citizens, and is renewable indefinitely — making it a highly efficient work authorization option.
