Based on the most helpful WSO content, Morgan Stanley (MS) has a mixed reputation when it comes to visa sponsorship. While they have sponsored H1-B visas in the past, recent threads suggest that their sponsorship policies can vary depending on the role, department, and year. For example, some users have noted that MS has been hesitant or unclear about H1-B sponsorship for certain positions, and others have reported successful sponsorships.

For TN visas (specific to Canadians), MS is not explicitly listed as a consistent sponsor in recent discussions. However, some users have mentioned that banks, including MS, may sponsor TN visas on a case-by-case basis, especially if you have strong internal support or referrals. It's worth noting that the TN visa process has become more challenging, with some banks opting out of filing due to increased scrutiny and risks of denial.

Your best bet is to leverage your strong referral to directly inquire about their willingness to sponsor a TN visa for your lateral move. Additionally, networking within the firm and speaking to HR or immigration specialists can provide clarity on their current policies.
