Can I get TN visa in advance of actual flight date?

Glad to find this board! I am in Toronto planning to fly to US west coast to start work Oct 1. Since it looks risky to get the TN on the same day (wait time at Pearson? is it 24 hour operation?), ...

I tried getting a visa a couple of days before moving and the visa was denied because I was not on my way there. The following week the visa was issued as I was on my way there.

I've been to Buffalo/Fort Erie Crossing twice to do TN Visas and it's VERY easy to do there.

I believe the question is, prior to exiting Canada can the applicant for a TN visa obtain the TN visa, continue to stay in Canada for a few days and then leave to the US with the approved visa.

Isn't that clear in my response? I stated that the applicant may receive their TN Visa a maximum of two weeks before the start date. Meaning you're allowed to go there, get the TN, then two weeks later, leave to start your job in the United states.
