As a Canadian, how to answer 'Are you authorized to work in US legally?'?

When Canadians apply for jobs in the U.S., we usually need to answer the following two questions:


  1. Are you authorized to work in the United States?
  2. Will you require visa sponsorship?

The first answer should be "yes" for Canadians.

The second answer depends on whether you are qualified for the TN status.

For instance, if you are a software engineer, you are qualified for the TN status.


Therefore, for Canadian software engineers who want to work in the United States, the answers should be:

  1. Yes, you are authorized to work in the United States.
  2. No, you do not need visa sponsorship.

If the job form allows freestyle input, I would include the following statement:

As a Canadian citizen, I am eligible for TN/EAD status.


If you are qualified for TN status, the answers should be:

  1. Yes.
  2. No.
