TN
That U.S. opportunity is worth a conversation. Explore professional work through the TN pathway.
Your household may be planning a business move while a spouse already holds US status or an adult child needs a separate plan. Review each person’s circumstances and the proposed funding independently, then bring the decisions together.
U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
TN suits eligible Canadian and Mexican citizens with prearranged professional work in an occupation actually listed under the USMCA framework. L-1A covers a qualifying transfer into a managerial or executive role; L-1B covers a qualifying transfer into a specialized-knowledge role, and the two are not interchangeable. E-2 concerns a treaty investor developing and directing a genuine enterprise through a substantial, at-risk investment. EB-5 is an immigrant investor category requiring qualifying capital and U.S. job creation, with a reduced capital threshold available only where a project actually qualifies as a targeted-employment-area or infrastructure investment. Gold Card refers to the current federal gift-and-processing-fee framework toward EB-1 or EB-2 residence, and does not replace either category's own eligibility rules. Citizenship, the employer or ownership relationship, and each person's own documented history decide which of these questions is even relevant to them.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Start from the tasks actually assigned this specific person.

Identify the one document that actually created each person's opportunity — an offer letter, an incorporation and ownership record, a payout confirmation, an existing status document — and read it for what it commits to versus what remains open. Build an honest, testable account for each person separately, rather than a single household narrative organized around the person whose facts happen to be furthest along.
Meet the people in your cornerPersonal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Write out, for every household member separately, what work, ownership, funding, or existing status is actually involved. An existing green card, a life-insurance payout, and a disability are each their own separate fact pattern.
For each important statement, name the specific document able to verify it — incorporation records, payout confirmations, prior approval notices. Mark anything unverifiable as unresolved rather than smoothing it over.
Compare the actual facts against the citizenship, employment, ownership, or investment terms a category actually requires, rather than assuming a spouse's or child's situation mirrors the principal applicant's.
Combine the legal steps, any project or business milestones, and each person's own status history, so the household can see which items depend on a question that has not actually been answered yet.
A decided category, or even a single agreed household plan, is not required before a first conversation. Bring each person's situation as it currently stands, including any status one family member already holds from an earlier process. A sole-shareholder transfer, a life-insurance-funded investment, and an adult child's disability-related question can each call for different records and different professional input.
Find your pathwayPrepare a short, factual account of each person's circumstances and the specific questions that need review. Confirm what a consultation actually covers, and its cost, before sending a complete file for more than one household member. Immigration eligibility, corporate documentation, and tax questions tied to a payout or a retirement account are frequently separate matters even within one household.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
A spouse who remains a lawful permanent resident ordinarily does not need dependent status through another family member’s new filing. Confirm the actual status, residence and travel history; possession of an old green card alone does not resolve every continuing-status question. Record that independent position separately from the principal applicant’s case.
Being a sole shareholder does not disqualify a transfer, but the U.S. role still needs to be shown as primarily managerial or executive in actual substance, documented independently of the applicant's ownership interest. The qualifying foreign employment, corporate relationship and continuing business must also be established. For an owner or major stockholder, the evidence must address temporary US services and the subsequent assignment abroad.
Not automatically. An adult child's status options, including any disability-related considerations, depend on the specific category and the child's own facts, and need their own review rather than an assumed extension of a younger sibling's terms.
It needs the same kind of documentation as any other source of funds: the origin, the legal basis for receiving it, and the path from receipt to investment, regardless of how sympathetic or well-documented the underlying event was.
