Requirements
to NAFTA Trader Visitors
To
qualify as a NAFTA/CCFTA Trader Visitor the following conditions have to
be met by individual and/or business he/she represents:
applicant
has American, Mexican or Chilean citizenship; enterprise
has American, Mexican or Chilean nationality; activities
involve substantial trade in goods or services; trade
is principally between either the United States/Mexico/Chile
and Canada; position
is supervisory or executive, or involves essential skills;
and compliance
with existing immigration requirements for temporary entry.
Duration
of entry for NAFTA Trader Visitors
The
initial employment authorization could be given for a maximum duration
of one year. Extensions should be granted for a duration of 2 years,
provided that all requirements described above continue to be met.
Trader status would end upon taking another job, engaging in an activity
which is not consistent with this status, closing down the business,
etc.
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.
