TN Visa for Computer Systems Analysts

5/7/2018

TN Visa Janice P Warren
The Computer Systems Analyst is the only category of TN Visa for the field of IT. Many applicants may be confused about how to qualify for this visa, so it is important to understand what this category entails.

The Computer Systems Analyst observes and studies an organization to identify information needs and then designs computer systems to meet those needs. To do this, the Analyst uses data modelling, mathematical modelling, information engineering and other modalities. An important point to make here is that this title should not be confused with computer programming. Although system analysts may use computer programming, NAFTA has not expanded to include 'computer programmers.' This is crucial to point out because immigration officers must be convinced that the position is not that of a computer programming, and that programming is only one tool being used.


The requirements to obtain a Computer Systems Analyst visa are
​1. A bachelor's degree in or closely related to computer science
2. Post-secondary diploma/certificate
3. Three years of related experience with this specific job title.
​

In addition, an applicant for a Computer Systems Analyst visa must provide:
1. Proof of Canadian citizenship
2. Detailed letter from prospective employer
3. Proof of Intent to return to Canada at expiration of TN visa stay

If you are considering a TN visa as a Computer Systems Analyst, contact Toronto lawyer, Janice Warren, for her expertise in dealing with TN visas.

TN Visa for Management Consultants

TN Visa Management Consultant
The Management Consultant TN visa is a popular visa, poorly understood, and  highly scrutinized. Management Consultant visas are for those who as consultants provide solutions to managerial problems to improve a business' operations and the bottom line.

​There are two main types of Management Consultant TN visas. One of these types is where an individual's role is to advise the U.S. employer on improving their operations in some way (no direct client contact). The second type is where an individual is hired by a consulting company in the U.S. Under normal conditions, this visa is for a three year period and renewable indefinitely.  It can only be for one employer.
​
The Management Consultant TN visa is exceptional for it does not require university or college degree. Full time work experience of five years as a consultant, or experience working in the relevant industry is sufficient in establishing eligibility.  For these reasons this particular kind of TN visa is most versatile. As a result, many Canadians apply for this visa because they do not qualify under other categories. 

Over the years, border officers have grown more skeptical of individuals applying for a TN Management Consultant visa due to the volume of applications submitted. Not surprisingly, this has led to a high rate of denials. It is crucial for applicants to provide adequate and thorough paperwork the first time they apply. A denial by a border officer can result in complications if one chooses to apply a second time. The complexity of such petitions, and difficulty in securing this visa, makes it imperative for any potential applicant to consult a lawyer before beginning the process.
 
If you are considering applying for a TN management consultant visa, contact Toronto immigration lawyer, Janice Warren for her expertise in dealing with TN visas.
