Hypothetical example: a West Kelowna household already has substantial paperwork—an offer letter, a shareholder register, a franchise disclosure package or a subscription agreement—but does not know which page matters. For every US route, one record may settle the first question: the duties list for a professional job, the corporate ownership chart for a transfer, or the signed commitment of funds for an investor case. This page shows how to locate that record before anyone drafts a summary of it.
The routes we compare are TN for Canadian and Mexican citizens working in a listed profession, L-1A and L-1B for people moving within a corporate group, E-2 for treaty investors who will run a real business, and the two immigrant paths, EB-5 and the current Gold Card framework. None of them is chosen from a Canadian address. The deciding facts are passport, credential, corporate lineage, money and the activity each person will actually perform.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
The profession rule is applied to what you will do each week.

A useful first review reads the primary record, not a description of it. An orchard-management company's organizational chart shows whether a US entity is a subsidiary or simply a customer. A franchise agreement shows who controls hiring and pricing. A wire confirmation shows whether funds are committed or merely available. When the primary record contradicts the cover letter, the primary record wins, so we start there.
Meet the people in your cornerPersonal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
For each route we identify the single document an officer would read first and obtain the signed version, not a draft or a summary.
The duties list is compared with the listed profession, the ownership chart with the qualifying-relationship test, the funds trail with the at-risk standard.
Where the document falls short, the remedy is a corrected agreement, a completed transfer or a new licence, never a more persuasive cover letter.
The application is prepared only after the primary record and the narrative describe the same job, company, investment or family.
Send the actual documents, including the ones that seem unhelpful. A vesting schedule that has not started, a loan secured against a Canadian home, a job title that does not match the duties: each is easier to address before an application than after an officer asks about it. Our remote consultation covers the immigration reading; accountants, corporate counsel and lenders keep their own roles, and we say plainly when one of them needs to speak first.
Find your pathwayShneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton work from the records you supply, by video and secure upload, without a local office. The first session identifies the deciding document for your route, states what it currently proves and what it does not, and lists the gaps in order of consequence. Nothing is filed until the primary record and the application say the same thing.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
The written duties for the US position, ideally from the employer rather than a recruiter. The USMCA list is matched to work performed, not to the job title, and the duties page is what an officer compares with the profession's degree or licence rule.
It needs a qualifying relationship that already exists on paper: parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate, shown by share registers or ownership agreements. A distributor, customer or licensee is not a qualifying relationship however close the commercial tie.
Not until it is irrevocably committed to the enterprise. Funds are usually shown as committed through completed purchases, signed leases with deposits paid, or escrow arrangements that release on visa issuance. A balance available to invest is not an investment.
No. EB-5 capital is invested in a job-creating enterprise and can, subject to the enterprise's fortunes, be returned. The Gold Card contribution is described on the official program page as a gift to the U.S. government plus a processing fee; it is not a commercial investment and its terms should be re-verified before any transfer.
