A Pilot Butte engineer with a consulting offer, a compliance director asked to cover the American branch, a welder whose employer has a blanket approval, a couple eyeing a business for sale across the line: each of them is a particular kind of person to U.S. immigration law long before they are an applicant. Citizen or permanent resident, employee or owner, spouse or common-law partner, child under 21 or over. Those labels decide more than the route name does, so we begin there.

LET’S FIND THE WAY.
This site covers six routes. Three are for people who will be employed: TN for listed professions, L-1A for managers and executives moving within a company, and L-1B for specialists moving within one. Two are for people putting money to work: E-2 for a business the applicant will run, and EB-5 for capital that must create jobs on the way to permanent residence. The Gold Card is a gift-based route that then relies on existing immigrant categories. Each guide on this site takes a single household's facts and follows them through, so that you can see the questions before you meet them.

Match the offer to the listing, not the job title
TN turns on the profession named, the qualification rule it carries, and an employer who is not you.

MADE TO
THINK SMALL.
The most expensive mistakes are made before anyone files. A company sends a specialist under a blanket approval he does not qualify for, a couple signs a promissory note secured on the very business they are buying and finds none of that money counts, a partner of fifteen years is assumed to be a spouse, a family pays a fee toward a residence they never intended to occupy. The remedy in every case was a question asked early. We would rather spend the first conversation on those questions than on the forms.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
01
Classify the people
For every traveller, record citizenship, Canadian status, marital or partnership status, age and intended activity. Several routes are decided at this step.
02
Classify the relationship to the U.S. side
Employee of a related company, employee of an unrelated one, majority owner, minority owner, lender, donor. Each maps to a different category or to none.
03
Read the instrument that binds
The employer letter, the shareholder agreement, the promissory note, the partnership subscription, the official program FAQ. Its wording will be read literally.
04
Sequence around the slowest step
Licensing boards, consular interviews, corporate reorganizations and estate settlements set the pace. Put the slowest item first and let the filing follow it.

NOW BOARDING.
You do not need to have chosen a route to speak with us. It is often better if you have not, because a family that arrives committed to a category tends to reshape its facts to fit. Bring the offer, the org chart, the term sheet or the estate correspondence in the form it currently exists and tell us what you are hoping to do. If the honest answer is that two adults have different plans, say so; the plan usually has to accommodate both.

Consultations are held remotely. We will tell you what the immigration rules require, where the evidence for each requirement will come from, and which questions we cannot answer because they belong to a tax adviser, a securities lawyer or a licensing body. We do not run an office in the region and we do not need to; the documents and the decisions travel well.

BEFORE THE BIG MOVELET’S CLEAR
LET’S CLEAR
A FEW THINGS UP.
My employer's U.S. parent has a blanket L approval. Can they just send me under it?
Only if you fit the blanket's categories. For specialized-knowledge workers the blanket route is limited to professionals, which in practice means a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. A specialist without one needs an individual L-1B petition.
We are buying a U.S. business and the seller will finance a third of the price. Does that count toward our E-2 investment?
Not if the note is secured on the business's own assets, because that money is not the investor's and is not at risk to the investor. Financing secured on assets you personally own, or your own cash, is what counts.
My partner and I have lived together for twelve years but never married. Can she come as my dependant?
No. U.S. dependent status requires a legally valid marriage. A common-law relationship recognized in Saskatchewan does not qualify, so she would need to marry you or hold a status of her own.
Does being in Pilot Butte rather than Regina make any difference to the U.S. rules?
None. The federal rules are the same across Canada. What varies is your citizenship, your employer or business, your family's facts and the documents you can produce.
