BOWDEN · TN FIELD GUIDE

Do short recurring visits remove the need to assess the actual work?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

No. The duties and employment arrangement still need a lawful basis. Trip length does not establish that the activity fits a listed TN profession.

Describe the work performed on each visit

Identify the actual professional services rather than calling all travel a meeting. Canadian or Mexican citizenship and the profession’s prescribed qualifications remain necessary for TN. A travel pattern is not a substitute for those facts.

Set the advertisement beside the offer letter, the interview notes, and any written scope from the hiring manager, then mark each difference: title, seniority, listed responsibilities, tools, reporting line, and the share of time on each activity. A field-agronomy position that is genuinely advisory work on crop production is assessed against the agricultural entry and its stated degree requirement, while the same employer's sales-representative or crew-supervisor roles may not correspond to any listed profession at all. Bring the offer, the proposed duties and the available registrar records to counsel together, so the assessment is about the specific listing rather than a general assumption that a transcript is always the required proof. The category also contemplates temporary professional work for a prearranged employer: an applicant intending to work for themselves, or through a company they control where no genuine separate employer relationship exists, falls outside it however well the profession otherwise fits.
