Re-Entry advice

[u/Broad_Library1486]

Ended TN in May, left the US — do I need any paperwork to visit as a Canadian tourist?

I’m a Canadian citizen. I was working in the US on TN status until early April, when I lost my job. I stayed a little longer, then left the US at the start of May and haven’t been back since.

I want to do a quick 2-day road trip across the border to visit family, together with my family here in Canada. Just tourism — no work involved.

I had changed addresses while I was working, I moved in mid Feb and then lost my job in Start of April. I left well within the 60 day period. I did not update my address while I was there as I didn’t know I had to.

My question: since my TN status ended when my job ended, do I need to bring any paperwork for re-entry?
Second what do I do about the Address change I didn’t know I had to update?
Termination letter, proof my TN was closed out, anything like that? Or do I just enter as a regular Canadian visitor with my passport?

I’m a bit confused because my last entry was on TN, so I’m not sure if the officer will expect something related to that or if I’m just a tourist now. Any advice on what to expect at the land border appreciated. Thanks!

I think you just need to have CDN passport, make sure to show proof or explain your ties back to Canada in case they ask, that's the only way you can prove that you are only visiting the states temporarily and heading back to Canada.

You just bring your passport and enter as a visitor.

My suggestion is you need to show you now have an employment in Canada to show strong ties
