U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
Hypothetical example: A Canadian product manager has an offer from a U.S. software business, a minority stake in a start-up, and a spouse considering further study. Those facts are not interchangeable. One proposal may turn on the professional occupation and an employer’s assignment; another may require proof of a qualifying corporate relationship; a third may depend on the source, commitment, and commercial exposure of capital. The useful first step is to separate the projects, the people, and the dates so that a promising business conversation is not mistaken for immigration eligibility.
This remote consultancy helps Canadians in Point Edward examine six federal U.S. pathways: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5, and Gold Card. The federal rules are the same regardless of municipality. A route can be worth investigating without being available to every household, employer, investor, or corporate group. Start with a measured account of the proposed activity, nationality, past employment, ownership, money trail, and family plans. That account makes it easier to identify what an official source says, what a company can prove, and what still needs professional advice.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Begin with duties and qualifications, not merely a job title.

Treat each proposed move as a set of verifiable propositions. For employment, identify the legal employer, the worksite, the professional duties, the supervisor, and the intended period. For a transfer, list every relevant organization and describe ownership, control, payroll, and the applicant’s actual responsibilities. For an investment, follow money from its lawful source through the account that holds it to the transaction documents and operating enterprise. A clear chronology often reveals gaps earlier than an attractive résumé or pitch deck does.
Meet the people in your cornerPersonal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Write down the actual U.S. duties, investment steps, or transfer responsibilities, including the anticipated start and any third party involved.
Identify the applicant, family members, employers, customers, owners, lenders, and corporate entities. Names used in everyday conversation can conceal different legal roles.
Match each important fact to a contemporaneous record, such as a degree, corporate resolution, contract, bank record, payroll file, or civil document.
Place work start dates, travel, school, commercial closings, dependent ages, and filing windows on one timeline before committing to an irreversible step.
Planning does not require a forced choice at the first conversation. A household may first test whether a U.S. role is genuinely professional, whether a Canadian permanent resident has the required nationality for a treaty route, or whether a planned expansion can support a managerial position. Keep alternatives on separate pages. Do not blend a future purchase, an existing overseas job, and a dependent’s intended school program into one generic story. The governing test, evidence, and consequences differ, and a careful comparison protects against timing decisions made on an incomplete premise.
Find your pathwayShneur Herman works remotely alongside Jo Kubti; Alexander Paton is also part of the team. Clients use scheduled online conversations, the phone number and the WhatsApp button on this site. The consultancy maintains no Point Edward site. It provides information support, not legal representation, and does not replace advice from a suitably qualified U.S. immigration attorney or other regulated professional. Bring questions, records, and uncertainty to the discussion; the team can help organize the decision points and direct attention to the official material that governs a selected process.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
No. These are federal U.S. categories. The relevant facts are the applicant’s circumstances and the governing federal requirements, not the municipality of residence.
No. A project date can inform planning, but it does not create eligibility or permission to begin U.S. work. Build an operational contingency around the actual process.
No. Dependents may have different permissions and age limits. Record each person’s proposed activity and documentation separately.
