Can I work 2 jobs and have two TN visa?

Hi

I'm Canadian and I have a TN visa with a hospital that I'm working fulltime for. I was looking for a side job, something away from the bedside for a new experience and I got an offer for a casual/part-time research nursing jobs (about 20hrs/wk). I was wondering if I can get another TN visa for this new job. I understand that each TN visa is binding with the specific employer who sponsors it so I can't work for another employer without a second visa.

Does anyone have any information on this kind of situation?? Any information would be helpful, Thanks :)

Probably better to take to a immigration lawyer experienced in this type of visa

Yes. Each job should be at least a part-time -full time job. Although a trade lawyer would be best consulted in this case. Per diem jobs do not qualify for TN.

Just thought i should give people an update: I got my second visa yesterday!

The offer letter was casual position (no more than 20hr/week) as per my request, the officer at the custom was very nice and made the process super easy and smooth.

I'm so excited to start my new role next week!

I'm currently back to Canada but my license is from Colorado and member of the new enhanced compact states which makes it easy to practice in in any member state. Inbox me at [email protected] if you don't mind

You can only maintain compact license when your permanent address is in the state your license is in. Have you maintained a permanent address in Colorado? If not then you will have to apply for a license in a new state by endorsing your current one

Yes I still maintain my residence in Colorado, I just came to Canada so I can obtain the TN visa
