- Your background summury indicates that you have enough skills and experience to handle this position.
- The letter must be in company letter head with signature, date, etc.
- If it's computer related job, you must be titled as "Computer System Analyst", no other choice. Even your real title is java developer or something else. That is very specific.

- Resume
- Diplomas: all you have, if from chinese university, get certified at U of Toronto first, $100
- TN letter

      • 谁能confirm一下,TN信是否一定要起始和结束日期?我的信上只说了一年,没具体日期。必须的话,我还得赶紧叫他们改。。。。另外,还要dress up?我打算开车直接过去,T恤短裤才正常,穿身套装开长途不是太怪了?
        • Don't worry , once I got my TN letter I will let you know what's on mine. it's on the way, and should be here tomorrow :)
        • usornot, don't worry, with short on, you're fine. it's too hot the weather. officer will be fine. :)
        • I can confirm you, the TN letter must contain starting, ending date of your job. Clear? You can try at your own risk, most likely, you have to go the second time.
          • I even heard a case that the starting date is for example at May 15, but the guy went to the border at May 1, ... the officer said go back and come back before May 15, it's too early for you. They do care about the date, not too early, not too late.
            • thanks! I have asked them to put on dates and send me again.
      • Thank you so much, Rabbit.Your reply is very helpful.From the list , the TN letter is enough .My recruiter didn't send me the original hard copy offer yet. I only have a e-mailed pdf ver.That's why I have this question.
      • So, I don't need to show the officer my job offer , but Just the TN letter. Am I right ? Anyway, I can only print out the job offer letter , but it can be distinguished fr. the original one. My recruiter is so lazy to send me an original one.
        • Only the TN letter. Not the real job offer letter.
    • The other point I want to bring is that go to Peace Bridge, Buffalo, New York. That port is the best so far. That's what I've heard. I did my TN at that port, no hassle. The only serious question they asked
      The only serious question they asked is

      Have you ever done finger-print due to a police arrest? I said, No, the officer said: Are you sure? I said, I am positive.

      I don't know why he was doing this to me, not very funny I think.

      Anyway, other than that, everything is smooth.
      • I am thinking of Detroit. It is convienent for me to go that way. Anybody had problem there?
    • 也问一下大家:办TN,可不可以不过境,只是去海关,办完就回来,等以后再去美国?
      • 烟花大侠呢?
        • 说的不会是我吧? Anyway, 我个人的经验是先去Buffalo, 签了TN, 回来辞职, 过两个星期再去美国. 没遇到什么麻烦. 但是以前看到有人给打回来的, 说是你既然不是今天要搬家, 那就等你真的要去了我们再签给你. 怎么说哪, 看人运气了.
          和那些officer 没有什么道理好讲的, 人为刀殂,我为鱼肉啊.
          • 多谢。(原来你也是上班泡网,呵呵)
            • 你不是说大侠上夜班吧?哈哈。
              • 枫下的是多伦多时间。我们用的是西部时间 :)
        • 补充一点,是 full time,签到 TN 后,别忘了把 vacation 休了在辞职,不然亏了。哈哈。
