citizenship
of the United States, Mexico or Chile; profession
identified in Appendix; qualifications
to work in that profession; pre-arranged
employment with a Canadian employer; provision
of professional level services in the field of qualification
as indicated in the Appendix; and compliance
with existing immigration requirements for temporary entry.
Duration
of entry for NAFTA Professional Visitors
Initially
the Professional Visitor should obtain status for a maximum of one year.
Extensions can be issued for a duration of up to one year providing the
individual continues to comply with the requirements for Professional.
there is no limit on extensions, however, the applicant must demonstrate
that the employment is still "temporary" and that he/she does
not using NAFTA entry as a means to bypass normal immigration
procedures.
Distinction
between NAFTA and CCFTA
Unlike
NAFTA - which is a tri-partite agreement among Canada, Mexico and the
United States, the CCFTA is a bi-lateral agreement between Canada and
Chile only. Even though much of the CCFTA is modeled after NAFTA, the
CCFTA is not binding upon the United States or Mexico. Thus, citizens of
Chile should not presume that any of the rights and privileges granted
to them under the CCFTA will apply with respect to the United States or
Mexico. Similarly, citizens of the United States and Mexico should not
presume that any of the rights and privileges granted to them under
NAFTA will apply with respect to Chile.
