No automatic family permission follows from an equity offer. A TN principal’s eligible dependents may seek TD, which does not authorize employment. Each person’s planned activity requires assessment.
Keep the spouse’s work plan distinct
If the spouse also intends to work in the business or remotely from the United States, state that explicitly. The applicant’s ownership proposal does not establish the spouse’s authorization. Include children’s study and age-related questions and any independent employment option so the family comparison does not rest on an assumed second income. The dependent categories cover a qualifying spouse and unmarried children under 21. Check each person’s relationship, age and period of authorized stay rather than extending a permission from another household member.
Households sometimes assume that dependent restrictions soften with time, that a spouse who has lived in a community for three years acquires some entitlement to work there, or that a long-settled teenager can take a part-time job like their classmates. Steps differ by nationality, since Mexican citizens generally require a visa and Canadian citizens generally do not, so confirm what each dependent needs instead of assuming the principal's route applies to everyone.
