TN
That U.S. opportunity is worth a conversation. Explore professional work through the TN pathway.
For the next job. The bold idea. The life you can already picture.
U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
Hypothetical example: a Dorval professional is asked to begin U.S. work in three weeks, before any review is complete. The useful move is agreeing what can start now and what genuinely cannot.
Pressure narrows thinking, so keep all six routes visible: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5, and the Gold Card programme, which is not a conventional visa category. Availability and current requirements both need checking before anyone commits. A consultation clarifies which official process applies and what evidence it wants; it does not decide the case, and where a point turns on state licensing or U.S. tax it will point you to the right professional rather than guess.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Start with the parts of the file entirely in your hands.

Separate the employer’s requested date from confirmed preparation milestones. Ask which documents the employer can supply now and which commitments can wait for a professional assessment.
Meet the people in your corner
Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Ask your employer for the requested start date, the reason behind it, and whether it can move by a few weeks.
Separate what can be prepared immediately from what depends on an outcome nobody controls, and label each item honestly.
For every open question, write down who answers it: you, your employer, or a licensed U.S. attorney we bring in.
Request an initial conversation while collecting the employer’s answers. Keep the desired start date clearly separate from any confirmed ability to work.
Write down the consequences of a changed start date before discussing a fallback with the employer. A clear list helps you ask concrete questions about notice, housing and project handover.
Find your pathwayConsultations run remotely, so an urgent timeline does not cost you travel, and the initial one is free. We are not a law firm; licensed U.S. attorneys are brought in where the work requires it.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
It depends on the route and current requirements, which we check rather than assume. What we can do immediately is tell you which parts of the timeline you control and which you do not.
Not something to assume. Any start date question belongs in the review itself, with a licensed U.S. attorney involved where required, before you or your employer commit to anything.
That preparation has started, which documents you need from them, and when you will have a clearer schedule. Specific asks reassure employers far more than a promise to hurry.
Send a short enquiry describing the role, the requested start date and the pressure you are under. Leave documents out of the public form; we move to a secure channel first.
