Follow the actual evidence requirements and preserve the records supporting the qualification being claimed.
Connect the report to the actual award
An assessment should accurately identify the institution and qualification. Do not use a report to imply an award or field of study that the underlying records do not support.
Treat the credential evaluation as an explanation of source records, not their replacement. Assemble the diploma, transcripts, translations where needed, evaluation methodology, and any licence or experience proof demanded by the particular USMCA profession. Verify that names, dates, field of study, and awarding institution agree across every item. TN remains limited to Canadian or Mexican citizens performing prearranged work in a listed profession with that profession's qualification; a Canadian permanent resident does not qualify by residence alone. Canadians may request TN at a port of entry or use an employer's Form I-129. A frequent error is submitting only the favourable conclusion while omitting records needed to test it, especially where the proposed arrangement could look like prohibited self-employment.
Hypothetical example: an Orford dietitian holds a Brazilian nutrition degree and receives an evaluation describing U.S. bachelor's equivalency. Her prospective employer still needs records showing what was awarded and whether the proposed Dietitian role satisfies applicable professional licensing rules. She should pair the report with her diploma, transcript, translations, licence correspondence, job description, and signed offer. A résumé line saying “Canadian credential recognized” proves neither citizenship nor the underlying education, so she should document Canadian citizenship separately and keep the employer relationship clear.
