I am on a TN visa and my son is studying in the university with TD visa/I20. I intend to change my current job and obtain a new TN visa soon. Can my son continue to study in the university on I20 alone if I don't apply for his new TD visa? I believe, Canadian citizen do not need a visa to study in the US but only require an approved I20 and pay the SEVIS fees. He does not have any plan to go outside of US during the course of his study. Thanks

If there is a break in your TN status (i.e., there is a time period when you are not employed in the US officially in TN status), it also breaks your son's TD status, leaving him with no status in the US. While Canadians do not need an F1 visa to study in the US, they DOneed to be admitted in or change status to F1. Easiest would be for him to return to Canada and re-enter the US with his I-20 and get admitted in F1 status.
