Yes, they may decide to deny your TN in that case, though I applied for mine after the I-130 was submitted. I didn't have any issues.

Congrats to everyone who got ILs this month. So happy to see Montreal picking up speed. I just crossed into the US today and activated the IR-1 at Pearson. Was a pretty quick process, took about 45 minutes, mostly waiting in secondary inspection. Despite the very long wait for the interview, I am happy to report the interview through to activating the visa was a simple and fast process. Thanks VJ’ers for being the bright spot in this difficult process! Good luck to all still waiting for ILs.

Probably not very likely that IL letters will come out today, maybe after Thanksgiving? Hoping for the best tho 😅 I'm so excited and scared!

Happy to report that I was approved this morning at my interview. A really smooth process. It took almost 3 hours though and the room was full most of the time. I was asked about travel outside of Canada by security when entering. I mentioned that I traveled from the US yesterday, and he asked if I was compliant with all CBSA COVID regulations and I said yes. I wasn't asked for proof of vaccination, though I did have it with me just in case.
 
Everyone was very friendly, and the interview itself was less than 10 minutes. The consular officer asked the usual questions:
-Where and when did you meet?
-What do you and your husband do for work?
-How long have you been in the US on a TN?
-Will you live in your current residence in the US?
-Have you ever overstayed a visa in the US?
-Have you ever lived anywhere other the Canada and the US?
-Have you ever been arrested or charged with a crime?
-Have you traveled to any other countries in the last 5 years?
 
He reviewed by 2020 tax forms, but said he didn't need them because what he had was sufficient. He said everything in your application looks great, and I plan to approve. I came with photocopies of all originals as instructed, but no one wanted the photocopies of anything, and they scanned all originals. I was then given the paper that indicates how to track your passport.
 
Thanks to all the VJ'ers for the helpful info over the past two years! Good luck to others still waiting. I'll update once passport is received.

Approved! I’ll write up later today how everything went!

I do! On Friday afternoon (exactly 96 hours after my CEAC status was changed to “issued final processing”), a shipping label was created and I received my tracking information. 
 
Unfortunately, I had booked a flight for ten days after my interview (this wednesday) but the tracking info said it wouldn’t arrive until Wednesday or Thursday. I cancelled my flight, and got one for this Saturday at a higher cost. Now, my passport has arrived in the city I live in (two-three days earlier than it said it would), but that I am unable to pick it up until tomorrow. 
 
With all that said, I should hopefully be picking it up tomorrow and crossing the border on Saturday!

Yes, I received my initial TN with a pending I-130, which was possible since I was going through consular processing. With consular processing, you are required to leave the U.S. to process the immigrant visa, so it's a loophole around the dual-intent issue. I  have had no problems at all with this during the I-130 processing, when leaving and entering the US, during the TN interview nor the immigrant interview.
