Law prohibiting being in US while out of status but valid I-94?

[STRIXO 1]

Can't seem to find the answer to my this question which seems so simple. Calling the CPB now but they don't seem to know either. Frustrating!!! Any Canadians out there that could help me with that? I’m a Canadian professional working in the US. I have been given a TN visa and a year long -I-94 in March 2012. Now my contract with the US employer will end this August. Do I fall out of status then? If so, may I remain in the US while out of status but with an unexpired I-94 card? Is there a law that prohibits me from doing so? If so what are the sanctions. I’d like to stay because my girlfriend lives here. Law prohibiting being in US while out of status but valid I-94?

Thank you,

Tony

This is not an adjustment of status question - moving to the Canada forum as the OP asked for help from other Canadians with TN visa issues.

Valid I-94 is only valid until you meet your visa requirement.

One of the condition for you would be to be employed, if you are not employed than you would be out of status and your I-94 would be invalid.
