Earlier this week, the U.S., Canada and Mexico reached agreement
on a new trilateral trade pact to replace the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The agreement will be known as the United
States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA. The labor mobility
provisions of the USMCA are largely the same as those of NAFTA
– meaning that the TN category as it now exists (including
all currently recognized TN professions and minimum education
requirements) should remain in effect without change after USMCA is
implemented.
The leaders of the three countries are expected to sign the
agreement within the next two months. The USMCA must then be
ratified by the legislatures of the three countries before it can
take effect. Ratification is expected to take place in early
2019, at which time USMCA will supplant the 25 year-old NAFTA
treaty.
We will continue to monitor this situation and provide
additional updates as soon as they become available.
