U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
Hypothetical example: an employee living in Richelieu learns the company they work for has been acquired, and the entity named on their paperwork no longer matches the one that would send them to a United States site.
Six routes stay open here: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5 and the Gold Card programme, which is not a conventional visa category. After a corporate change, current requirements need checking again. The first review should end with a short list, not a long one: the offer letter rewritten to name the institution, a month-by-month log of managerial versus hands-on hours, the seller's licence-transfer confirmation, the loan and bank records tracing borrowed proceeds into the investment. When a document also carries tax, corporate, licensing, family-law or securities consequences, take that part to the professional who answers for it.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Treat this as a new role, not a continuation.

Find out which legal entity employs you now, which one signs your offer, and which one would file. Ask HR to confirm all three in writing.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Draw the entities before and after the acquisition, marking which one holds your contract and which one operates the U.S. site.
Note when the acquisition closed, when your employer of record changed, and when your duties or title last changed.
Give each unknown an owner inside the company: HR for records, finance for structure, legal for the corporate documents.
Use the free initial consultation to agree what a later secure professional examination would need, then gather those answers.
A clear entity chart and a dated employment history let the discussion move to route options instead of stalling on who your employer currently is.
Find your pathwayWe work remotely with people in Richelieu and offer a free initial consultation. USAvisa Montreal is not a law firm: we handle planning and coordination, and a licensed U.S. attorney is involved where legal advice is needed.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
It can change the facts a route depends on, such as who employs you and how the entities relate. That is why the entity chart and the dates come before any route conclusion.
Ask which entity is your employer of record today, whether your service history carried over, who would sign an assignment letter, and which corporate documents the company can share for a professional examination.
Ask whether a company contact can join. A colleague from HR or finance can answer structural questions during the call, which lets the conversation stay on decisions rather than assumptions.
You can start planning now and revisit it as facts firm up. Note which answers are provisional, set a date to re-check them, and flag them at any later review.
