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 Montréal-Est manufacturer approves a U.S. branch, signs nothing yet, and asks who can transfer first. Planning starts with the sequence, not the paperwork, because the receiving entity is still an intention rather than an operating business.
Six routes stay open to you: 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 rather than assuming availability. When a record turns out to say something other than what was expected, the useful response is to record the difference rather than to smooth it. A spouse and unmarried children under 21 may be included as derivatives; a child who turns 21 during the process is a planning problem to raise early, not late.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
The branch is not the only way you could arrive.

A U.S. plan built on an entity that does not exist yet needs honest labels: what is decided, what is funded, and what is still a hope.
Meet the people in your corner
Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Ask which business milestones affect assessment of the proposed move. Record the status of entity formation, premises, funding and hiring without treating every item as a universal filing requirement.
Gather board approvals, budgets, lease negotiations and org charts as they stand now, marked clearly as drafts or as decisions.
List every open question with an owner and a date, so nobody assumes the branch plan is further along than it is.
Bring the sequence, the inventory and the open list to a free initial consultation held remotely.
Distinguish the company’s opening target from your personal moving date. For each unfinished business decision, identify who can confirm it and what changes if it is delayed.
Find your pathwayWe work with you remotely from first contact, and the initial consultation is free. We are not a law firm; where a matter calls for legal advice, we collaborate with a licensed U.S. attorney.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
Yes. Planning at this stage is mostly sequencing and evidence gathering. What changes once the entity exists is which documents you can produce, so we map both stages and check current requirements together.
Name one person on the Canadian side and one on the U.S. side. Planning stalls when nobody can say whether a lease, a budget or a first hire is actually approved.
Tell us early. A change in ownership, funding source or first-year activity can point toward a different route, and revisiting the plan costs far less than rebuilding it afterwards.
No. Keep the first message brief: who you are, what the branch is meant to do, and your timing. Personal documents belong in a secure professional review, not a public form.
