U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
Hypothetical example: a Sainte-Thérèse couple signs an offer on a U.S. business and their plan has one of them managing it from the first week. Nothing in that plan yet separates buying, entering and working.
Six routes stay open on this site: TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5, and Gold Card, which is named as such rather than as a conventional visa category. Current requirements for each need checking before you rely on any. E-2 turns on treaty nationality, money irrevocably committed and at risk, and whether the applicant will actually direct the business.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Describe the work before you describe the visa.

Decide who will actually perform work in the business, on what date, and under which status. Write that down before the purchase agreement fixes a start date.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
List every task the plan assigns to the owner, with proposed dates. Ask a licensed U.S. attorney which activities require authorization under the intended arrangement.
Set the earliest date the business needs an active operator, and name who holds that duty if you cannot start.
Gather the offer, financial statements, lease terms, and any employment or management agreements that describe your intended role after closing.
Bring the dated plan and the deal file to a secure professional review, where a licensed U.S. attorney can assess the assumptions.
Knowing which tasks require status, and when, lets you negotiate the closing date and management terms with the seller rather than discover the conflict afterwards.
Find your pathwayWe work remotely and offer a free initial consultation. We are not a law firm; we plan, organize and document your file, and we collaborate with a licensed U.S. attorney where legal advice is needed.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
That depends on the status you hold at that time, which is a legal question. Record the tasks, the dates and the ownership structure, then ask a licensed U.S. attorney to assess them.
A short description of the purchase, your intended role and your timing. Keep it brief and leave out personal documents; document uploads belong to a later secure professional review, not a public form.
We do not assign a route in a first conversation. We map what your plan requires, note the facts still missing, and check current requirements for each option before anyone narrows the list.
Ask whether a company contact or your partner can join. It helps when someone can answer questions about the purchase terms, the operating structure and who is expected to manage the business.
