Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s what you need to know about TN visas for Canadians in IBD or related fields:
Classification: Employers typically classify candidates under the "Economist" category for TN visas. However, it's crucial to ensure that the job description aligns with the economist role. For example, the primary duty must be stated as an economist, while secondary duties may involve financial analyst tasks. Consulting with a lawyer to draft the letter correctly is highly recommended.
Approval Process: TN visa approvals can be granted at the port of entry (e.g., airport or land border). There’s no need for pre-approval, but you must have all required documentation ready, including the employer's letter detailing your role and responsibilities.
Timeline: The process at the port of entry is typically same-day. However, preparation time for gathering documents and ensuring compliance with visa requirements can vary depending on your employer and legal counsel.
Port of Entry: Some users have suggested specific ports of entry, like Newark, for smoother processing, but this can depend on individual circumstances.
Make sure to consult with an immigration lawyer to ensure your application is airtight and aligns with the TN visa requirements.

Approval on the spot at the point of entry but it’s been spotty. If you get rejected you can repeal with USCIS online. It’s better if you speak to an immigration lawyer. Category depends but consultants have been popular.
