Does the TN really expire after 3 years? My (American) boss has been working here in Canada for at least 5, and he is cheerfully uninterested in becoming a permanent resident. I guess he had to renew once or twice, but it doesn't seem like it was much of a hassle for him.
- serge2k 12y agoIt's renewable. But you can't get a green card with it, have to switch to H1B for that.
- gabbo 12y agoYou can get TNs good for 1 year or 3, but you can technically renew your TN status as many times as you want. The downside is that TN status is strictly for people with "non-immigrant intent" and if a border agent believes you have immigrant intent when requesting a TN or entering America with one, they can revoke it/deny you entry at their discretion. So a 3-year TN is fine, maybe even a second one, but if you've been in the US on a TN after 8 or 9 years you're probably going to get some trouble.
