Does fieldwork prevent an assignment from being assessed as TN Forester?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

The assessment concerns the actual professional duties and qualifications, not simply whether work occurs outdoors.

Describe the responsibility behind the field activity

Explain what the applicant evaluates and recommends, and identify routine or physical work accurately. Forester lists a degree or a state or provincial licence. The complete case still requires Canadian or Mexican citizenship, qualifying prearranged work and temporary entry.

An officer applies the entry as written; there is no general principle that long service in a field cures a credential gap, and arguing that the work is equivalent invites a refusal rather than a discussion. Provide the leave letter, the original support letter describing the professional duties, and the admission or approval records, so the advice rests on documents rather than descriptions. Ask the employer to title the position Computer Systems Analyst and to describe the requirements-gathering, design and specification duties in the support letter, with coding mentioned as a component. The credential alternatives include a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree, or documented equivalent professional experience: five years as a management consultant or in a specialty related to the consulting agreement.
