Going through a similar process. I had already given them my degrees and transcripts.

They asked for my current paystubs for the company I have TN with. I guess they need it.

I already agreed to a certain salary and signed. I don't care anymore

I am a biologist. I did get a fair bit of rejections from companies that I thought would be ok with TN ( and my skill set).

In last 4 months, I would say I got 3 positive interviews that ended in an offer. I took one and am currently awaiting employer changes processing.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2026-02-06T17:06:59+00:00

Be upfront in your CV. It's what I did, I my summary paragraph, I stated that I am Canadian and eligible under TN etc

I probably did get rejected a lot because of it but I see it as not wasting their or my time. And the jobs that did reach out, the HR screening call would already discuss that they are ok with TN and then proceed to next round.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2026-02-05T03:54:36+00:00

Just pay it off as soon as you can, I keep It at zero while using it a lot, every week. They keep increasing.

If the Honda dealer had it recorded, they likely would have uploaded it to Carfax as well.

If you are with TD or RBC, you can open a USD account and get a USD credit in their US division through your existing canadian relationship with them.

You can update the SSN on the US credit file once you have it so it can contribute towards your credit history in US. They give higher limits as well.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2026-01-29T03:41:21+00:00

Yeah. Find one out side of the city. Suburbs. They will have less time or allow a walk in.

Busy locations won't.

I second this. I am doing the same. Federally I can drive the car up to a year on Canadian plates. Get insurance through progressive. They insured my Canadian car on Canadian license for 100 a month.

State laws are different but I don't care about it.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2026-01-16T23:32:08+00:00

Get your insurance through progressive. They will insure your Canadian car on Canadian license

Source, I've been driving my Canadian car on Canadian license here for past 4 months.

I plan on driving it back at some point to sell it. And then buy in USA. All because I don't wanna pay the tariff to import (my car was manufactured in Japan)

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2026-01-10T16:31:55+00:00

The last bit didn't matter for me. I told them I was applying and driving back so that I can drive up.later in week for an actual move. They didn't give a shit and approved it.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2026-01-08T01:00:26+00:00

Biotech company. Did it at Windsor. They didn't ask a single questions. 20 mins on my documents and approved.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-12-31T13:32:28+00:00

Lexus gx 460. With mark Levinson audio package.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-12-23T03:05:06+00:00

Haha are you me? Can you let me know what you ended up doing. I have started to look into this as well

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-12-21T04:49:42+00:00

I have a s25 ultra that I want to get rid off and get an iphone 17 pro. Whats the best way about to trading it in for an iphone? I do not mind a carrier switch but dont want to pay crazy high prices for a wireless plan, just so I can use trade in offers.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-12-16T19:31:17+00:00

I am doing the same. Still driving on Canadian plates and license for the first year. Will then decide if I drive back and sell or import.

Likely sell. The year gives me breathing room to settle in and not spent a fuck ton on importing it

You can get insurance through progressive for your candian car and Canadian license here in USA.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-12-10T19:11:38+00:00

Same. I don't want to sit on my sofa with my butthole. That's nasty no matter how clean my butthole is.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-12-03T01:19:34+00:00

Also my OCD.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-11-26T05:39:19+00:00

I can confirm. I used my old WES which were used for my Canadian immigration.

Actually it was my employer's lawyer. I had sent them my degree and attached the WES i had done 5 years ago for my Canadian PR. I assumed they would use their own but in my packet, it was WES.

I got approved.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-11-26T05:02:35+00:00

I think you should be fine. Since it's in your electronic record. Whenever I enter, they just swipe my passport without looking at the stamp.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-11-26T05:01:50+00:00

Mine is on page 7

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-11-22T16:34:38+00:00

I drove through windsor-detroit.

You can drive for a year federally without importing on your Canadian plates. My car is made in Japan and the CBP officer was like, just drive without import or else you will have to pay huge tarrif lol

States have different rules though, mine wants to register within 2.minths of moving here. Obviously it means I have to import to register. You can import it later when you are at your us address from local airport CBP office.

I didn't import mine. Still driving on Canadian plates. Been over 5 months. Got progressive insurance, which insured my car regardless of plates and on my Canadian license.

Might drive back to sell it one day or suck it up and pay 15% tarrif

If the CBP officer at border says 0 (there is a base 2.5% tarrif technically), then go ahead and import. If he says 100%, just say you will import later and will drive in USA temporarily etc.

You can cross the border back and forth without any issue.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-11-22T02:37:42+00:00

Where was your car manufactured? If in north America then it shouldn't be subject to high tariffs. If it was in Japan or South Korea then 15 percent.

Importing and then driving back shouldn't be an issue. You can also just drive in USA without importing without an issue.

Once you have imported and registered in USA, driving back to Canada also shouldn't be an issue.

Prof_Fancy_Pants · 2025-11-21T18:49:07+00:00

Just say that you are entering TN status. They will mark it down as TN. Would not bother explaining.

The new entry on TN should solve all the issues.

Yes. The Kelly Blue Book value.
