Offers create obligations to people whose lives are affected by a decision nobody controls, and no approval or processing time can be promised. Sequencing that respects both sides recruits for the earliest essential role only, uses honest conditional language about start dates, and delays later offers until the enterprise can pay wages regardless of the immigration position.
Set review points instead of a launch date
Pick moments where the plan gets reassessed: when the ownership and funding evidence is complete, when the first contracts are signed, and when the consular step is scheduled. Canadian citizens generally need an E visa, so that appointment is part of the calendar rather than a formality. Between review points, avoid commitments that only make sense if a decision arrives by one particular week.
