Hi Mary.
Sorry for the delayed reply - I haven't looked at this forum in a while. But I am a Canadian librarian working in the US, since February 2005. I also taught at Seneca in the part time program. I hate to tell you this, but what you get at Seneca is a library technician diploma, and those don't get you anything under the TN visa category. You would need to be a librarian with a Masters degree in library and information science. The college technician diploma is meaningless here for immigration purposes.
