Question about US social security number, work permit for Canadian Citizen.

[qqottawa]

Hello there,

I haven't got formal job offer from US company, but the company ask me to go there and begin to work. So I wonder: can I go to US first and work there, later apply for TN visa.

Also without TN visa at the beginning, may I apply for US social security number? If yes, what's the procedure I can follow?

Thank you in advance for your help!

YOu must get TN first

Otherwise you are working illegally.
Also you can only get Social Security Number after you get your TN permit.

Xiaomimi, thank you for your help!

I plan to take plane to US and visit my brother there. And wonder may I bring 4 luggages with me: 2 with me onboard, other two shipped by plane. Under this situation, whether or not I will get problem at the Ottawa airport?

thanks.

for my experience, if you take that much luggage with you ,the immigration officer wil ask you so many questions about your purpose to US. if he has any kind of suspiciously feelings about you, you will be refused to enter.

如果你没有工作签证也去公司上班的话,被INS查出来,你这辈子甭指望再去美国.特别是这个时候,你的麻烦可能还要大.

不知道你的公司为什么这样一来要求你.其实你的公司名知故犯,查出来可能就要关门的.为什么要冒这样的风险?如果,它真的需要你,可以立刻出Offer, TN VISA 并不占它的任何名额.

奇怪的很? 我是想不通.
