Does the TN visa permit self-employed professionals to engage in private practice in the United States?
No. NAFTA professionals may only engage in their profession through prearranged business activities for a United States company or person. Nor may they establish an independent business in which they are the sole shareholder. The individual may, under a TN visa, hold a controlling interest in a Canadian company which contracts to perform work for a US company and also perform that work.
