Which documents carry a Minden Hills veterinarian's TN application at the port of entry?

Proof of Canadian citizenship, a letter from the American hospital and evidence of the credential do the work. The letter should name the profession as Appendix 2 words it, describe the clinical duties concretely, and state the salary, the reporting line and the period requested; the credential is proved by the parchment, the transcript and the certificate of registration together.

Build the package around the profession, not around the job title

A referral hospital will often draft its letter around an internal title such as associate surgeon or staff clinician. That is fine as description, but the letter must also say plainly that the position is a veterinarian position and that it requires a veterinarian's qualifications, because the officer is matching the offer to a list. Underneath that, name the work: soft-tissue and orthopaedic surgery, anaesthetic supervision, diagnostic imaging interpretation, case handover to referring practices.

Attach the passport, the parchment, an official transcript and the provincial certificate of registration in good standing. If the state licence has been granted, include it; if it is pending, include the board's acknowledgement rather than leaving the point unaddressed. Where any document is in French only, obtain a complete certified translation.

A single folder, ordered so that each claim in the letter has a document behind it, is worth more than a thick bundle nobody can navigate.
