TN Visa with 3-year BSc in CS from Canadian University
Hey everyone,
Looking for recent datapoints on TN approval with a 3-year Canadian bachelor's degree.
My situation:
- Canadian citizen
- Graduating with a BSc in Computer Science from an accredited Canadian university
- Degree will say "Bachelor of Science" on the parchment — no mention of 3-year or 4-year
- My university offers the same CS degree as both a 3-year and 4-year credential depending on credits completed
- Job offer from a large US tech company
- Employer uses a major immigration firm for support
My concerns:
- Saw a recent post where someone said their employer's immigration lawyers told them CBP officers are now requiring 4-year US bachelor's equivalency for TN, and that a 3-year Canadian degree wouldn't qualify without 3 years post-degree work experience
- I'm a new grad with no post-degree work experience yet
My questions:
- Has anyone been approved for TN under Computer Systems Analyst with a 3-year Canadian BSc recently (2025-2026)?
- Did CBP ask whether your degree was 3-year or 4-year?
- Did your employer's immigration lawyers flag the 3-year degree as an issue?
- Is the situation getting stricter recently?
Any recent datapoints appreciated. Thanks!
