Question: I am a Canadian citizen currently in the U.S. under F-1 status. My spouse is on F-2, but is not a Canadian citizen. What are my options to apply for a TN, and how would my spouse obtain TD status?

Answer: Having a spouse who is not a Canadian citizen complicates your case because he/she generally requires a TD visa stamp to travel to the U.S. I have outlined the 3 potential options available below with the pros and cons of each. However, you will see that the third option is not recommended.
