TN Visa for Software developer/programmer

[sdgmits]

Can a Canadian citizen software developer/programmer apply for a TN visa to work in the USA?

I have done a Bachelor of Engineering (4 yr degree) in 'Computer Science and Engineering' and currently working as a software programmer/developer in Canada. Am I eligible to take a job in US SOC job code: soc 15-1132 (Software developer, application).

I had my H1-B filed earlier in this job code and still have approved i140 and my Canadian work is related to NOC 2174 - Developer.

Below 2 articles are inspiring me the above question:

Given the new NAFTA has just been signed we don’t really know if there will be changes. It doesn’t seem like you are even a PR.

Yes, I don't have PR yet, however trying to explore TN visa in general for software developers and what would be the prospects in the future.

Based on earlier NAFTA agreement, was software developers allowed to work on TN visa ?

This job code is not the eligible list of occupations.
NAFTA job list - https://www.nafsa.org/_/file/_/amresource/8cfr2146.htm
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/employment/visas-canadian-mexican-nafta-professional-workers.html - Check the eligibility criteria.

It is not in the list and it is not changing in new NAFTA too. The only IT related occupation is computer system analyst and whoever wants to work in IT uses that to move to US.

Really too hard to see 4 years in the future and anticipate what kind of immigration policy the US will have. You have to know there is no guarantees you will be able to get a TN.

How tough it is to get a job offer for employment from US software company?
