TN Visa Case Info.

Background:

Citizen of Canada.

TN Category:

Software Engineer

Job title / duties:

Job title = Bioinformatics Associate. Responsible for the analysis, design, development, testing, and maintenance of the software systems that supported the company’s genomic research endeavors. The main issue here was establishing that the position fell under an eligible TN occupational category. Based on the position’s job duties, I felt that the the Software Engineer TN category was appropriate. As the position’s title was not entirely indicative of this TN category, I included research to establish that software engineers developed software and systems for use in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology field.
