Let me be captain obvious here to your 3 points:

1) well, of course US officials have a vested interest and a duty of care to ensure Americans get jobs first, assuming they are correctly skilled in doing so. What kind of government would give jobs to foreigners first (that is a rhetorical question, given the whole TFW thing)

2) canadians trained in US aren't US citizens, though their residency should assist them in getting jobs more easily than not. Going to a US school does not entitle you to live and work in the US

3) if your position isn't covered by TN-1, then you're not on the list, try something else.

i sense a slight smell of entitlement with you - good luck with that, the US isn't a place for those with an entitlement complex (well, it used to totally not be, but the welfare state it is becoming is changing that)
