The short answer is, yes, I'm a Canadian citizen.
and I can work in the United States. Whenever I want to work in the
United States, I can easily get one-year "TN" permits in approximately
twenty MINUTES.
The long answer is,
do you know what TN permits are? Do you need more
information? Would you like to read the rules? Feel free
to read the words of a United States Immigration Attorney who
spells out in plain English why the TN permit is the
quickest and easiest of the work permits for Engineers
with University degrees who are also Canadian citizens.
The attorney's web site is on
http://grasmick.com/nafta.htm.
Does this TN permit enable me to accept a
"permanent" position in the United States? The answer is
a definite YES, because, as the attorney explains,
"temporary" in immigration rules is not the
same as "temporary employment" in the business
world. Visit
his web site,
and scroll down to find his "Plain English Letter Re:
Temporary TN-1 Intent". Alternatively, click here to view the
Attorney's Letter.
To obtain this TN permit, what am I going to need from
you? From you I'm going to need only one piece of paper.
And you can generate that one piece of paper on your own
typewriter.
Sometimes a contract firm needs one full 'week' to generate that
one-page form letter that even a high school kid could copy and
type in 15 minutes. Think about it for a second; all you need
is a company letterhead and a typewriter!
If you're wondering as to what to say, "afraid to make a mistake",
have never seen a "proper" border letter before, or need an
example of a "properly" worded one, then I can send you one
that was written by an United States Immigration Attorney, and has been
used successfully.
Why wait for one full 'week'? If you have any questions or concerns,
please ask, so that you and I can start the
assignment today. Why wait for seven days?
As Business Week Magazine says,
"Talent is hard to find. For companies on the cusp
of the Internet age, the resource in the shortest supply
is neither raw material nor capital, neither powerful
technology nor new markets. What keeps managers up nights
is the scarcity of brainpower, the talent to give wings
to visions of a future that becomes the present at the
speed of light. For many companies today, talented people
are the prime source of competitive advantage". And
one of the good things about NAFTA is that U.S. employers
can now freely recruit throughout the U.S. and Canada.
FYI, the United States - Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) went into
force on January 1, 1989, and the final text of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed in 1992.
Please don't tell me "you need a work visa" or that "you have to be sponsored".
I know, things are changing, and it's not easy to keep up with the changes.
Most recruiters I meet over the telephone are
real professionals who do keep up with the changes.
A couple of years ago I found it frustrating to talk with some recruiters
who erroneously believed the most recent change was
the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, and that
"you have to be sponsored". People believe what
they want to believe... how do you convince them that things have changed since 1986?
