    TN Visa
    Hello,

    What do I need, as a Canadian, to work in the United States as an independent contractor?

    What visa do I need?

    Thanks

    To obtain any employment visa, you must have US employer as sponsor, which means you cannot perform a job as independent contractor.

    Thanks for the answer.

    I have a sponsor for the independent contract work.

    Is it possible to work for another company under a TN visa and work for another company as an independent contractor?

    Do I need separate visas to do that?

    Thanks again.
