Prepare a truthful, intelligible record that explains which material applies and why.
Obtain an accurate clarification from the employer
A position-specific letter may clarify an ambiguous attachment. Do not present an extract as the complete agreement if omitted terms change the duties or conditions being described.
Request the complete attachment first, preserve its version date, and ask the employer for a signed letter identifying the provisions that govern this particular position. The letter should state the US or foreign employer, identify the U.S. entity for which the professional activity will be performed, and give the professional duties, compensation, anticipated duration, and reason unrelated departmental material appears in the larger document. Submit selected pages only with an index or explanation that prevents them from appearing complete when they are not. A common mistake is omitting a schedule that changes supervision, worksite, or responsibilities. The record must still show citizenship in Canada or Mexico; Canadian permanent residence is insufficient. It must also establish a prearranged role in a listed USMCA profession and the applicant’s matching qualification. TN cannot support self-employment. For a Canadian applicant, decide whether to seek admission at a port of entry or have the employer use Form I-129, and tailor the record to the chosen procedure.
Hypothetical example: A Saint-Ambroise electrical engineer is sent a forty-page staffing agreement that also addresses construction trades and procurement. He obtains the whole agreement plus a dated employer clarification linking his circuit-design duties to two specific schedules. His submission includes those schedules and explains the unsubmitted commercial clauses without implying that the extract is the entire contract.
