He could obtain a TN-1 visa (NAFTA Free Trade Professional).
All he needs is a Canadian passport or birth certificate
and proof from his employer he qualifies under Schedule 2 of
NAFTA. They are good for a year with unlimited numbers of
renewals. Once he has a DHS document showing his immigration
status he can file the SS-5 to get an SS#.

Taxpayer is the son of a US Army deserter and a Canadian
mother. At 13, he moved in with his paternal grandparents
and went to high school and college in the States. But
never filed for citizenship - just used his Canadian status
to get by.

He graduated from college last June and went to work for his
uncle. Now in mid-March, he and his uncle just realized he
needs an SSN.

My response to his uncle (my cousin) was "You aren't stupid
so how did you let this drag out so long". You do not want
to read his lame-brain response.

What does the kid do?
