Is there a minimum salary for TN classification?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

TN turns on citizenship, a qualifying listed profession with its own credential requirement, prearranged professional employment, and temporary entry, not on a set salary threshold. Compensation still matters, because it must be stated accurately and consistently with the rest of the file.

Accuracy matters more than the amount

A figure contradicting the offer letter or the applicant's own account raises a credibility issue whether it is high or low. Other requirements, such as employment law or the conditions of a petitioning route, may bear on compensation separately. Ask counsel whether anything beyond consistency applies to this particular arrangement.

Appendix 2 lists each profession with its own minimum qualification, and Computer Systems Analyst is one of the few that accepts a post-secondary diploma or certificate combined with three years of experience as an alternative to a baccalaureate. An employer letter that spends its length on salary, benefits and relocation while describing duties in a sentence leaves the central question unanswered. Before choosing a procedure, isolate the proposed period of work, the named U.S. recipient, and the reason a listed profession rather than a sales title matches the deliverables. Gather the diploma, complete transcript, evaluation, licence evidence where required, and a detailed employer letter before choosing between a Canadian port-of-entry request and an employer-filed Form I-129.
