Read the general eligibility basics overview
A St. Albert resident may have become a Canadian citizen since an earlier review concluded that Canadian permanent residence alone did not support TN. Preserve the evidence of the actual citizenship change and reassess the professional opportunity using current facts.
Distinguish an actual grant from a pending process
Identify citizenship now held and the evidence supporting it. A hoped-for grant should not be described as completed. Where citizenship already exists by law but documentation is incomplete, clarify that distinct issue. Do not assume the old residence document gives the whole current picture or that every missing passport means the same thing.
Revisit the professional requirements independently
TN is for Canadian or Mexican citizens who meet the listed professional and temporary-entry conditions. New qualifying citizenship does not establish a matching occupation, credentials or permitted employment arrangement. Update the actual offer and role assessment rather than treating citizenship as automatic authorization to begin work.
Preserve the prior status history
A change in Canadian citizenship does not itself rewrite an existing U.S. admission or approval record. Keep the current U.S. status documents and prior filings available for the procedural review. Other routes continue to depend on their own corporate, employment or investment facts. Avoid replacing the old conclusion with an equally unsupported assumption of automatic TN approval.
