Nelsonagn seems to think even this would be an issue. Certain kinds of nonimmigrant status (eg tourist, student) require that one have a foreign (eg Canadian) residence one has no intention of abandoning. TN status has no such requirement.

However--and this is where I may respectfully disagree with nelsonagn--there is no requirement in the other direction either. A TN is definitely temporary and, if a Canadian chooses to maintain a Canadian residence while on TN in the USA, nothing would prevent them from doing so.

To me the test is this: could you fly up there today, keys in hand and without giving any kind of notice, and enter without knocking? To me that is the definition of a residence. Does this place meet that definition?

Finally, after more than a week, you state that you have a HOME in Canada, thatyou seem to be keeping. This would be good proof -- proof that you never stated before.

However, ALL of us who entered US HAD such proff when we moved, but most do not keep it. You might. The interviewer will want to see such CURRENT proof.

All I was saying is that the temporary nature of TN is no proof that you are residing in Canada -- you do not.
