Hi Peter,

Can founders be on a TN visa (Canadian citizen) and have a CEO title + directorship? Also, is there anything special to be aware of regarding equity for a founder on a TN?

Both USCIS and CBP oftentimes will reject TN applications by founders, owners, and executives. This isn;t necessarily justified legally but it has become common practice.

Piggybacking on this, if they are employed as an engineer and not explicitly as a founder, can they still be issued a significant (>30%, <50%) nonmajority equity share in a company?
