You are incorrect and cite no sources. Even Immigration Lawyer Peter Roberts has commented on HN about the pathway to a GC from TN.

We agree on one thing however, consult a lawyer (you will have to anyway if you are pursuing a GC). A good lawyer will tell you the same thing.

It's a pathway thousands of Canadians have taken and will continue to take. Don't delay your life over the broken H1-B system.



It could be true that the immigration law is so opaque and changes so quickly that both our statements could be true depending on the year / circumstances...

With that being said for source you can review this site and many others that will say the same thing about intention to permanently reside with a TN visa

Lastly your statement of incorrectness also sites no sources so I guess we just both have our opinions at this point

Nothing in that article contradicts anything I have said.

Not a great article either. Very boiler-plate and doesn't mention the 90 day rule for either TN to EB GC or marriage based GC.

Those figures are not public but it's a reasonable statement considering NAFTA has been in place since 1994, over fifty thousand Canadians have been awarded green cards over the last five years[0] and I am one of those people.
