The letter itself must be current dated, but there is no requirement to put start/end dates. Merely stating ".. for a period not to exceed 3 years" os suufficient, and in fact preferable.

Your wording is absolutely fine.

So after a lot of agony, my employer finally wrote the letter. However, she forgot to include my education and my RN license. I have a diploma and an actual license - will this suffice? I'm too scared to ask for a correction but also terrified of a rejection crossing. Also, is it okay to cross on a Sunday??

Thanks so much as always everyone!!

the letter should not say anything about you -- just the job. YOU provide your own qualifications.

Agnelson - I hope you're right! You seem always on the mark. The reason I am stressing out is the following passage regarding the letter that can be found on the u.s. government site.

Employment Letter

The employer in the U.S. must provide to the applicant a Letter of Employment in the United States. The letter must indicate that the position in question in the U.S. requires the employment of a person in a professional capacity, consistent with the NAFTA Chapter 16, Annex 1603, Appendix 1603.d.1.

The applicant must present evidence of professional employment to satisfy the Consular Officer of your plans to be employed in prearranged business activities for a U.S. employer(s) or entity(ies) at a professional level. Part-time employment is permitted. Self-employment is not permitted. An employment letter or contract providing a detailed description of the business activities may be provided from the U.S. or foreign employer, and should state the following:

* Activity in which the applicant shall be engaged;
* Purpose of entry;
* Anticipated length of stay;
* Educational qualifications or appropriate credentials demonstrating professional status;
* Evidence of compliance with DHS regulations, and/or state laws; and
* Arrangements for pay.
* Although not required, proof of licensure to practice a given profession in the United States may be offered along with a job offer letter, or other documentation in support of a TN visa application.



thanks again!!

that is overkill, and is for consular aplicants, which doesn't apply to Cdns.

You need to supply your credentials, no one else.
