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

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.

You are allowed to get your TN Visa a maximum of 2 weeks before the start date listed on the TN Visa Support letter, or Company offer letter.

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.
