How big is the TN pathway, really?

TN is the fastest, cheapest route for Canadians into the US workforce. No lottery, no petition for most Canadian applicants, and completed in ~30 minutes at the border. The official numbers below size the market this database sits inside.

TN admissions at the border are at record highs

I-94 admission events by fiscal year. This shows how many times TN holders entered (or re-entered) the US.

Where this data comes from

No US agency publishes a list of TN employers — Canadians are approved at the border with no public petition record. This database rebuilds the employer picture from the strongest official signal that does exist, and is transparent about what that signal can and can’t see.

The core method

When an employer sponsors a green card, it files a PERM labor certification with the US Department of Labor. The public disclosure file for every case records the worker’s current immigration status: the “class of admission” field. Every employer in this database filed at least one PERM case for a worker whose class of admission was TN.

Put simply: these companies verifiably employed someone on TN status and kept them long enough to sponsor their green card. That makes this a high-precision list of TN-friendly employers.

Limitations

  • It’s a floor, not a census. Employers that hire Canadians at the border and never sponsor a green card leave no public record and won’t appear here.
  • Green-card bias. The list over-represents employers that retain and sponsor workers — arguably the ones you want anyway.
  • The signal runs FY2008–FY2023. Earlier DOL files never disclosed the worker’s status, and the redesigned PERM form (June 2023) dropped the class-of-admission and citizenship fields from disclosure files, so the latest cases I could confidently include in this list are from 2023. DOL’s FY2024-FY2026 files are still read — they show which listed employers are still filing green cards, but they no longer say which workers were on TN, so I've excluded those from this list until I get ahold of the class-of-admission data.
  • Old cases were less detailed. FY2008–2014 files also carry fewer fields (no job titles or education), so older filings show less detail.
  • Latest filing with TN status disclosed: —. Anything filed after that date is on the revised form and cannot be identified as a TN case, even when the employer appears in this list.
  • Nurses and physical therapists are invisible here. Their green cards go through “Schedule A,” which skips the PERM filing this database is built on. Health-care employers are under-counted as a result, but will be addressed in a coming update.
