Hypothetical example: a Deux-Montagnes investor plans a U.S. business with a proposed co-owner, but nobody has settled whether that partner puts in money, runs daily operations, or simply lends a name to the paperwork.
All six routes stay reachable here: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5, and the Gold Card, which is not a conventional visa category. Check what each currently requires before building a plan around one. Begin from who employs, who controls the work and who holds the assets, then pick the category that those facts already support. Reading two side by side shows which fact a category examines hard and which it ignores completely.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Compare employment responsibilities with proposed ownership.

Write down what the co-owner actually contributes: money, work, or both. Until that sentence exists, ownership percentages and control questions cannot be answered honestly.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
State in one paragraph what the co-owner contributes, what they decide, and whether they would work in the business daily.
Collect the proposed ownership split, each owner's citizenship, and any draft agreement, even if the numbers are still being negotiated.
Bring the open ownership questions to a free remote consultation. Describe the arrangement in general terms; attach no personal documents to a public enquiry.
Ask how a later review with a licensed U.S. attorney would be arranged, and what the partnership paperwork would need to show.
If you and the co-owner describe the arrangement differently, preserve both accounts. Identify the disputed responsibilities and ask which terms need professional advice before an agreement is finalized.
Find your pathwayOur team plans and prepares; we are not a law firm. The initial consultation is free and happens remotely, and when a plan needs legal analysis we work with a licensed U.S. attorney.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
Ask whether they can. A partner who hears the ownership questions directly can answer them on the spot, and you avoid carrying half-remembered answers back and forth between two people.
Say so plainly. An unsettled split is a fact worth bringing, not a problem to hide, and the consultation can focus on which decisions have to come first.
It can affect which routes are worth examining, so note each owner's citizenship early. Current requirements need checking case by case, which is what a professional review is for.
Yes. You can request an initial consultation before choosing a route or finalising an agreement, and use it to list the terms that will matter once you do sign.
