Hi,
I am applying for a Tn Visa. What is the best answer when asked, WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK in the US?

Well that question should be comprehensively answered by the job offer letter your intended employer gives you.

Hello,
Could you provide some more information regarding the border interview? I have been offered a position whereby I will be teaching and integrating simulation technology into the health science curriculum. Simulation is relatively and my position fits best as post-secondary teacher in the TN categories.

I want to be as clear as possible with the border official about the position that it entails teaching but in a laboratory and classroom setting. I do not have courses but will teach via simulation modules in nursing, radiation etc.,

Please advise on best way to conduct interview.

This is a great resource.
Thanks,
akram

don't think of it as an interview. You are basically presenting documents. You had your interview with the employer.

The TN letter should state the category of your TN, and the job duties, which should closely match your degree. It should be clear that the school is post-secondary.

Then you present your degree, and, if your degree is unrelated, proof that your course load was overwhelmingly geared towards the job duties you will have.

Your passport will prove you are Cdn.

There really should not be anything to explain. If something is missing from the letter or your docs, they will ask you -- not to explain -- but provide better docs. You're not going to the border to teach them about your job, you are there to prove by documents that you, your job and your employer are TN-eligible.

You are not really conducting an interview with U.S. Immigration but are merely applying for immigration status. I am assuming you are a degreed Professional and are otherwise eligible for an H1B or TN-1 as a Free Trade Professional.
