TD does not authorize employment. Any actual proposed work and independent category require assessment before starting; an offer alone does not change status.
Separate opportunity from permission
The spouse may have useful qualifications, but those do not create a TD work benefit. Identify actual activities and the relevant process. The dependent category is for a qualifying spouse or unmarried child under 21; each person needs valid status.
Avoid locking in a moving date, school enrollment, or housing lease until the duty and credential questions are settled, since a rewritten offer letter or a licensing delay can add real time to the process. Build a separate identity and relationship packet for each family member: passports, marriage record, birth records for children, and genuine name-change documents. Steps differ by nationality, since Mexican citizens generally require a visa and Canadian citizens generally do not, so confirm what each dependent needs instead of assuming the principal's route applies to everyone. TD status carries no work authorization at any point, so a partner holding it cannot take American employment, freelance, or continue working remotely for a Canadian employer from inside the country.
