We work with international business people preparing visa cases so that a visa officer can clearly understand how the business works, determine its profitability, and see why the professional qualifies for a NAFTA work permit.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement. It creates special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico. The nonimmigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visa allows citizens of Canada and Mexico, as NAFTA professionals to work in the United States. Permanent residents, including Canadian permanent residents, are not able to apply to work as a NAFTA professional.
