It seems to be a mixed experience entering when you tell them you're there for a job interview. B-1 status for Canadians is broader than for other nationalities, it should cover job interviews as it mentions "business meetings". Given that it's also broader for Canadians anyway you should be able to do it.

How you phrase it seems to be the key, i.e. you are entering for a specific job interview with a specific employer at a specific place at a specific date and time. As opposed to: "I'm looking for a job." Which will get you refused entry.

Hi,

As a follow up question, I would like to know of people's experiences with the go-between recruiting companies. I have heard of cases where people might be working for company A but will be employees of the recruiting companies, at least initially. A person can be on the recruiting company's payroll as well as their TN-1.

Thanks
