CBP Optimizes Processing for First-Time Canadian TN and L Applicants

Share this:

In mid-September, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) optimized its processing for first-time Canadian TN and L applicants seeking to enter the U.S. under the NAFTA program. CBP has designated certain ports of entry that will ensure a more efficient processing of high volumes of these applicants.

The TN nonimmigrant visa allows qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to request temporary entry into the U.S. to engage in business activities at a professional level. The L-1 nonimmigrant visa category allows a U.S. employer to transfer an executive or manager from an affiliated foreign office to an office in the U.S.
