I want to apply for TN visa as WA/BC border crossing --mostly SUMAS,WA as all my L1 extension done their.

I am a M.S Construction Management from USA (year 2002), my bachelors from India was specialized 5 yrs. program but certificate says 'Diploma in Construction Technology. I have close to 18 years. of various construction project experience NJ,VA, BC (Canada), WA

I want to know if an employer is willing to give me offer letter, can i use the Scientific Technician/Technologist ? Engineering. My supervisor will be Professional Engineer, and maybe with my years of exp. can count towards Technologist title. does the CBP officer are concerned about titles as the employer title is Sr.Construction Inspector.

Thanks for all the help.

You must have a degree in order to apply for TN visa and special disciple are included engineering, medicine, accounting etc.
Also since you are laid off how do you intend to get a letter from the employer except am missing something here.
To avoid issues in future immigration I will suggest you go back to Canada and reset from there.
Look for a job and after you get offer letter put your papers together and come in as a TN - you can apply at any of the international airports in Canada.
A degree is key in categorized areas for you to successfully get a TN status!
