Read the general professional work overview
A revised offer can change more than wording. Identify the activities currently proposed and explain relevant differences before relying on an earlier profession assessment.
Make the operative terms clear
List the actual employer, duties, compensation and temporary period. Hypothetical example: an amended offer keeps the title but adds responsibility for daily operations. Explain that change directly rather than preserving an earlier duty summary that no longer applies.
Recheck the profession and qualifications together
TN is for qualifying Canadian or Mexican citizens performing listed professional work with the prescribed credentials. Experience is not a universal substitute for a degree. Degrees from institutions outside Canada, Mexico or the United States require a reliable foreign-credential evaluation; translation serves a different purpose. The revised work must fit the actual profession, not merely a familiar title.
Resolve the inconsistency before relying on the assignment
Keep relevant dated versions and seek a truthful clarification from the responsible employer. Do not backdate terms or select incompatible paragraphs to create a fictional offer. Assess changes to the actual employer or authorization through the applicable process, including the prohibition on services to a U.S. entity solely owned or controlled by the applicant. Canadian citizens generally may seek TN admission without a TN visa; Mexican citizens generally need the visa. Neither process removes temporary-intent or any applicable practice-licensing requirement.
