I am a Canadian Full-Time Analyst that will be training in New York for 6 weeks. I will return to Canada afterward. I was wondering whether any of you would know what type of work permits/ Visa/ or TN Visas I would need?
Thanks.





Ask your bank - do it now.

You need a TN Visa, like the poster said above make sure you ask your bank do it right now.
I thought TN Visas were only
I thought TN Visas were only required if employed by a US employer.
If employed by a Canadian employee, I don't see why you would need a TN visa. I might be wrong so it's best to check with your employer.
If he/she is training in the
If he/she is training in the US, I am guessing that he/she will be getting paid in the US. Therefore one requires a social security number. This is why he/she would require a TN/H1-B. You may however be eligible for a J-1 Visa (its a student visa) which is much easier to get.
I would think this is
I would think this is something your employer would handle automatically for you and it's not something employees have to worry about.

My bank is a US BB, but I'm employed in Canada (paid in CAD).
I did ask them, I am still waiting for the reply. I followed up a few times, still no answer. So I figure I will ask you guys here.

I still believe not, since you will be getting paid in CAD from the Canadian Entity of the bank.
I've got some friends who went for training for 2-3 weeks in the states and didn't need a Visa.
I will be asking my team tommorow just to make sure.

I was under the impression that all Canadians had to undergo a routine physical so that a doctor could guarantee the two halves of their head wouldn't separate...

If you are only there for 6 wks, I don't think so. But again, a US BB would most likely handle this for you. I would sit tight and wait for a response. When I worked in the US, the bank handled the TN Visa, but it took them awhile to get everything settled (I don't think I got all the documentation till June...) If they weren't going to help you with it, they would have given all the hires some warning early on
Hey thanks for the reply
Hey thanks for the reply guys. I finally heard back from them. Just for reference if any one is wondering, a Canadian analyst would be entering as a business visitor since you are going there for training only. You would need letters from both sides of your bank (US & Canada) to prove your business visit. Also, an itinerary, like your flight ticket, to show you're heading back to Canada. Next, you need your latest pay stubs and a business card of your own to show you work for the company. Let HR know this, and they should prepare the business letters for you.
