Can the TN be used for ‘Event Planner’?

The TN visa is a great option for professionals who fit into the qualified categories provided by the NAFTA agreement (now USMCA).

However, for a position to be eligible for the TN, it needs to be clearly listed or be analogous to one of the designated professions, with specific education and experience requirements. In the case of “Event Planner,” this role, in its usual form, is not listed among the qualified professions for the TN visa.

Typically, authorized positions require activities in fields such as engineering, accounting, sciences, or related areas, with a direct match to the established qualifications. Some management roles may, in certain contexts, be classified as “Management Consultant” or a similar category, but event planning rarely aligns with the requirements.

It is essential to strictly follow U.S. immigration laws, seek updated information, and, if in doubt, rely on specialized professionals to avoid risks. Evaluating classification under another category depends on a detailed analysis of the duties, qualifications, and documentation. Confirming all details and acting according to current legislation is crucial.
