Hypothetical example: a Mercier resident is told the role means client sites in the United States several weeks a year, not relocation. That changes what to plan for — trips, records, and the employer's exact role.
Six routes stay on the table from Mercier: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5, and the Gold Card, which is not a conventional visa. Current requirements for each still need checking. Six routes appear on this site, and a different authority answers the first question in each. A first conversation is used to organize facts, identify gaps and separate what is settled from what is still being negotiated. The table also tells the employer, the partner or the parents exactly what they must produce, and it stops the household from paying for evaluations, translations or petitions that the deciding record would have made unnecessary.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Start with the shape of the work, not the paperwork.

Frequent travel is a planning problem of its own. Decide early who employs you, who pays you, and what each trip is actually for.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Write down how often you would cross, how long each stay lasts, and whether work continues in Canada between trips.
Say clearly who your employer is, who issues your pay, and whether a United States entity directs any of the work.
Mark the questions nobody has answered: contract wording, client site expectations, and whether the role changes after the first year.
Bring the pattern and the open questions to a free initial consultation, then ask how any later document review would be arranged.
A travel-heavy role is not a lesser plan. It needs different evidence, and decisions made before the first trip rather than after a refusal.
Find your pathwayWe work remotely with people in Mercier. The initial consultation is free and remote. We are not a law firm; where a matter needs legal advice, we collaborate with a licensed U.S. attorney.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
It can. The pattern of trips, who directs the work, and where you are paid all feed into the comparison. Bring the actual schedule rather than a general description.
Decide it deliberately rather than by default. Ask your employer whether the role could become resident work later, and note that answer, because a future change affects planning now.
Ask which of the six routes are worth examining, what evidence each would need, and how a later document review would be arranged. Keep the first enquiry brief, without personal documents.
Ask whether a company contact can join. List the questions that person can answer about the role, reporting line and expected travel.
