You can apply for a Green Card on a TN visa you just can't renew your TN if you do.

That’s not correct. TN visa is a non-immigrant intent visa. The path from TN to green card (which I’ve done) is TN -> H1B (dual intent) -> green card.

I would guess the route you outlined is the typical route for Canadians, but one can go from TN -> GC.

Nope. You can apply for a Green Card when on a TN visa. One of my coworkers is doing so right now.

That is interesting, though it seems pretty tenuous. When I started down the path to a GC, TNs we’re indeed 1 year and H1Bs were under quota, so different conditions.
