A TN rests on prearranged professional employment with a United States employer in an occupation the USMCA appendix lists, and on the credential that particular listing demands. The state board's licence is a condition of practising veterinary medicine in that state, and the employer, not the immigration officer, is responsible for not assigning clinical work until it exists. A title like 'engineer' does not establish eligibility on its own; the profession requires actual duties and credentials to match the specific engineering category recognized under USMCA. The parties should make their offer, work order, reporting structure, location, and requested period agree before choosing either a Canadian applicant’s port-of-entry presentation or an employer-filed Form I-129 route. Two further conditions apply regardless of which profession is chosen: the employment must be prearranged with a United States employer or entity, and the applicant must be a citizen of Canada or Mexico.
