U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
Hypothetical example: an owner based in Pointe-des-Cascades is asked to sign a multi-year commercial lease in the United States while the visa assessment for the same project is unfinished. The planning question is what to decide first.
USAvisa keeps six routes visible: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5 and the Gold Card programme, which is not a conventional visa category. Current requirements and availability for each need checking. In a household case the first useful step is a table: one row per person, one column for the activity they intend, one for the status that would permit it, and one for the document still missing.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Describe the role before choosing a route.

Decide which lease terms can still change: start date, term length, exit clause. Write down who at the landlord can confirm each one.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
List lease deadlines on one line and visa assessment steps on another, then mark where the two collide.
Write the questions only the landlord, your accountant or a U.S. attorney can settle, and give each an owner.
Describe the project and the pending decision in a few sentences. Keep personal documents out of the public form.
Agree what a later secure professional examination would cover, and which route questions you want answered before signing.
Bring the lease dates, the ownership structure and the open questions to the consultation, so the discussion covers a specific decision rather than a general category.
Find your pathwayUSAvisa Montreal works remotely and offers a free initial consultation. We are not a law firm: we plan and coordinate, and we work with a licensed U.S. attorney where a matter requires legal advice.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
That is your commercial decision, and it is worth mapping first. Identify which obligations start immediately, which depend on occupancy, and what a landlord might accept as a conditional or delayed start.
The free initial consultation is a conversation about your plan and the open questions. Ask how any later document examination would be arranged, who would carry it out, and what it would cover.
That depends on facts we would need to check: the business structure, your role, and current requirements for each route. The consultation narrows the shortlist rather than reaching a conclusion.
A short written summary is enough: the project, the lease timing, who owns the business, and what you have already been told. Keep personal documents out of the public enquiry form.
