TN Visa with 3-year BSc in CS from Canadian University

Application Advice

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:

  1. Has anyone been approved for TN under Computer Systems Analyst with a 3-year Canadian BSc recently (2025-2026)?
  2. Did CBP ask whether your degree was 3-year or 4-year?
  3. Did your employer's immigration lawyers flag the 3-year degree as an issue?
  4. Is the situation getting stricter recently?

Any recent datapoints appreciated. Thanks!
