No. Identify the listed professional activity performed by this applicant, then assess the exact credentials and temporary employment arrangement.
Describe the work inside the project
Hypothetically, one research project may involve several occupations with different duties. Use the individual offer and actual responsibilities rather than applying one category to everyone associated with the project.
If the role is a general skilled trade rather than one of the specific professions Appendix 2 names, confirm honestly that TN is not available for that occupation before assuming a restructured job title or description could create eligibility. The candidate should collect the diploma, transcripts, licence records, and any needed credential evaluation before travel, then ask the employer to describe the prearranged duties independently of its skills test. TN eligibility still turns on Canadian or Mexican citizenship, a listed USMCA profession, its stated qualification and prearranged U.S. work; document reissuance cannot convert unrelated education into the right credential. The Scientific Technician or Technologist entry asks instead for theoretical knowledge of a listed discipline together with work in direct support of a professional in that discipline, which is a statement about the receiving employer as much as about the applicant.
