Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Canada Already Tried: compiled TN-Visa documentation, went to port-of-entry and was interviewed
Hello! And thank you for your question! While we are working together, I also may be working with other customers, so you may experience delays. Please be patient as we work through this process - your questions WILL be answered in the order they are received.Also, Experts and Professionals do not get credit for helping you unless you rate them. During this process, I might provide an answer, but you may require clarifications or have follow-up questions. If you do, please do not rate my response.

I cannot control the outcomes, as I do not make the law. So please do not rate the outcome of your question.Again, please remember that a rating is the only way we get credit for working with you, so it is very important that you give a rating.Unfortunately, there is no way for me to know why the application for the visa was denied. Usually, denials are based on a weak or suspicious employer letter, the application was not well documented, or he simply did not qualify for the visa status, either because of his experience/education, or the position itself was not eligible for TN classification. The only thing he can do is to reapply for the TN visa, and if denied again, hope that he is given some information about why the application was denied. It could even be that the officer woke up on the wrong side of the bed, believe it or not.There is no way to appeal such a decision. Approvals are completely left to the discretion of the officer interviewing the applicant. I hope I have answered your question.

so, can he just go back and try again... tomorrow... or must he wait...
No, he can go back tomorrow and reapply. Although it is possible to get an actual visa stamp at the embassy or Consulate, usually the TN visa process in Canada is done at the US border. If he or his employer does not have an attorney, it may be worth their while to retain one, so that he can present the strongest possible application to the border agent.I hope I have answered your question.
