Provide the employment proposal and relevant corporate agreements alongside citizenship and professional-qualification evidence. Useful review materials may include share ownership, voting arrangements, board powers, and documents identifying the applicant’s authority. These are issue-specific preparation materials, not a claim that every TN applicant must submit corporate governance records.
Check documents against actual practice
Ask whether the written supervision arrangement reflects how decisions are really made. If an agreement allows the applicant to override the person described as a supervisor, identify that discrepancy rather than omitting the agreement. Explain pending equity grants as well as current holdings so the assessment addresses the intended job.
Avoid creating a support package before the relevant ownership facts are settled; otherwise the letter may describe an arrangement that will no longer exist when employment begins. Test each record against practice before it enters the file. The question is not only what an agreement permits but what the company actually does, and a divergence between the two is the most common finding in this area.
Ask who has signed off on decisions in the past year, whether minutes exist for them, and whether the person named as supervisor has ever exercised that role. Where minutes are absent, note the absence rather than substituting an assertion. Where a written supervision arrangement conflicts with observed practice, obtain advice on which prevails before the package is assembled, since presenting the written version alone leaves an unexplained gap that later evidence may expose.
Keep corporate governance material clearly labelled as issue-specific preparation, because it is gathered here to answer an ownership question rather than because every applicant must produce it.
