Short answer
Start with the tool that matches where you are. Checking an employer letter you already have? Use the letter checker. Still gathering documents? Build a checklist. Working out dates or dollars? Use the calculators. Everything on this page is free, and the full guide library is in the TN visa guides.
Free tools
TN support letter checker
Paste an employer support letter and see whether it mentions each of the five things the TN regulation asks a letter to show. It runs in your browser — the letter is never stored or sent. For applicants reviewing a draft, and for employers writing one.
Document checklist generator
Answer a few questions and get the document checklist for your profession and the route you’re taking. For applicants gathering a packet before they travel.
TN cost calculator
Total the government fees for your route — border, preclearance or an employer-filed petition — including the family members applying with you. For applicants and employers budgeting a hire.
TN renewal calculator
Enter the dates on your current status and see your renewal window and how the two renewal routes compare on timing. For TN holders planning a renewal.
Handouts and one-pagers
TN explained for HR
A one-page explainer a candidate can hand to an employer: what TN status is, what the employer actually has to do, and what it costs the company. For HR teams and hiring managers. Also available as a printable PDF.
TN status for students, after graduation
A one-page handout on how TN works for Canadian graduates: the credential has to be awarded first, and the job has to be in a listed profession. For university and college career and co-op offices to print or link.
How the information is checked
How TNPath checks its information
The method behind these resources: automatic re-testing of every profession’s letter, word-for-word checks against the TN list, and official sources only. For advisors and offices deciding whether to hand these pages out.
Common questions
Are these resources free?
Yes. The checker, the generators, the calculators and the handouts are all free to use and free to link to. The packet builder is also free to start and preview; it charges $99 USD only when you download the finished letter and packet guide.
Do the tools store what I type?
The letter checker runs entirely in your browser: the letter you paste is never stored or sent anywhere. The calculators work the same way. The packet builder saves your answers only in your own browser, so you can leave and come back on the same device.
Who are these resources for?
Canadian citizens preparing a TN application, the U.S. employers hiring them, and the career advisors, co-op offices and associations who point them in the right direction.
