Department's Guide to Visa Sponsorship

NAFTA Status: The TN program is the immigration component of the former North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA, now sometimes referred to as the USMCA or NAFTA 2.0). It was negotiated for the purpose of facilitating the flow of goods and services between Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.

There are two types of TN Visas,

• TN-1 for Canadian applicants- Apply at the port of entry
• TN-2 for Mexican applicants- Requires an application for entry at a U.S. Consulate

Please read the information carefully to initiate a sponsorship request for TN Professionals for Canadians and Mexican citizens at Jefferson. If you have additional questions or inquiries, please email at employee-visa@jefferson.edu
