TN
That U.S. opportunity is worth a conversation. Explore professional work through the TN pathway.
A U.S. opportunity can begin with an employment offer, an expanding company, an investment or a family decision. Start by separating the outcome you want from the authorization needed to pursue it. This Vancouver guide helps you gather the facts, compare the available pathways and prepare useful questions before making commitments.

ready for what’s next.
Explore professional work under TN, executive or specialized-knowledge transfers under L-1, treaty investment under E-2, and the separate permanent-residence questions raised by EB-5 and Gold Card. Your citizenship, work arrangements and evidence determine which options deserve a closer look.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Start with the work and your qualifications.

An attractive opportunity is only one part of a move. The employer, business structure, source of capital and household plans each bring their own questions. Put those details into a clear account that a qualified professional can assess, instead of choosing a category from its name or an advertised processing time.
Meet the people in your cornerPersonal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Write down who would employ you, what you would do, or which business you would own or develop. Distinguish a proposed arrangement from an offer or transaction that already exists.
Collect the role description, qualifications, ownership information or investment records relevant to that opportunity. Mark gaps clearly so your first conversation can focus on what needs clarification.
Explain who would move, whether anyone needs separate work authorization and what school or timing commitments affect the plan. Do not assume one person’s immigration route answers every family question.
Ask what should happen next, who is responsible for it and which commitments should wait for further advice. A useful assessment may identify a different pathway or an unresolved issue rather than an immediate application.
Use the pathway explorer to find a starting point, then read the relevant questions before contacting the team. Your plans can be ambitious while your preparation remains specific, realistic and grounded in evidence.
Find your pathwayFrom Vancouver, you can start with a remote consultation and a clear account of your plans. Bring the documents you already have and the questions you cannot yet answer. We will discuss the next steps and where advice from a qualified U.S. immigration professional is needed.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
You can begin with the opportunity rather than a category. Describe the work, employer, business or investment and your citizenship and current circumstances. Those facts help identify which guides and professional questions are relevant.
Residence in Vancouver is the starting location for your planning, not a separate immigration qualification. Citizenship and the requirements of the particular U.S. category still matter. Canadian permanent residence should not be treated as Canadian citizenship.
Bring each family member’s nationality, relationship and intended activities into the discussion. Dependent status, visa requirements and employment permission differ by category and personal circumstances. Request a specific assessment rather than assuming everyone has the same rights.
Compare the actual arrangements and evidence for each option. Ownership, duties, the relationship between companies and the nature of an investment can lead to different questions. Discuss alternatives without assuming one pathway automatically converts into another.
