TN visa working for the State of Florida?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with
the following. I am a Canadian citizen I have lived
as a grad student for the last few years in the US and graduated. I have applied for a job in an office of the state of Florida specifically in the Division of Plant Industry. If I get a job offer (and letter) and my profession is on the list of required professions can I get a TN visa at the border? Or TN visas do not contemplate to work for the state.

Thank you for any replies

The state is an employer like any other.

You should be able to get a TN status (not visa) at the border, as long as your job is on the TN list, you meet the requirement for the job and you are in "good standing" with respect to your immigration status (that is, no inadmissibility issues).
