Build your checklist
Answer four questions. The checklist below is generated from the same logic TNPath’s builder uses for the packet guide, so it matches the documents your profession and credential route call for.

TN visa document checklist generator
Pick your profession, credential route and application type, and get the document checklist for your TN application — the same checklist the TNPath packet guide prints for Canadian applicants.
How this checklist is built
TNPath’s builder assembles a personalized packet guide for each applicant, and its document checklist changes with the profession, the credential route in the TN list entry (a degree, a diploma plus experience, or a licence), whether the application is a first TN, a renewal or a change of employer, and whether family members are applying for TD status. This free generator runs that same checklist logic with the four answers above — it does not use a separate, shortened list.
The checklist is general information about which documents TN applicants typically present. It is not a ruling on what any officer will ask for, and it doesn’t assess your status or eligibility. For the full walkthrough, see the TN document checklist guide.

The packet adds your employer support letter, the employer review checklist and port-of-entry preparation to this same checklist. Preview free; $99 USD to download.
Common questions
How does this checklist generator work?
Choose your profession, the credential route named in its TN list entry, your application type and whether family is coming with you. The generator runs the same checklist logic TNPath’s builder uses and prints the document checklist for those answers. Nothing is stored or sent to TNPath.
Is this the same checklist as the one in a TNPath packet?
Yes. The items come from the same code the packet guide uses, for the same answers. A TNPath packet adds your employer support letter, the employer review checklist, credential guidance and port-of-entry preparation on top of the same list. Packets for Mexican citizens use a separate consular-route checklist.
Does the generator store my answers?
No. It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is stored or sent to TNPath.
Will TNPath tell me whether I qualify?
No. TNPath is a document-assembly tool. It organizes the facts you provide into templates and gives general information. It doesn’t make eligibility determinations or recommend case-specific strategy. Only U.S. Customs and Border Protection decides whether to admit you.
