TN
That U.S. opportunity is worth a conversation. Explore professional work through the TN pathway.
For the next job. The bold idea. The life you can already picture.
U.S. visa support for Canadians
ready for what’s next.
Hypothetical example: a Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury revenue manager who works remotely for a Québec hotel group is offered a permanent position with a Colorado resort operator, while her husband, a self-employed arborist, is weighing the purchase of a tree-care company in northern New Hampshire. Two offers produce two separate evidence files. Her case turns on whether the position fits a listed profession and whether her records prove the qualification; his turns on money, control and a business that must support more than their own household. Neither answer follows from the other.
Most households from the Route 175 corridor arrive with one of six frameworks in mind, and the useful work is confirming which one the facts support. TN covers prearranged professional work in a listed profession. L-1A and L-1B cover transfers inside a corporate group, one for managers and executives and one for specialized company knowledge. E-2 covers a treaty national who invests in and directs a real business, EB-5 covers immigrant investment that creates jobs, and the Gold Card is a separate gift-based framework that is not a conventional visa. Each one asks its own questions about citizenship, the organizations involved, the work and the money.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Collect the terms before anyone rewrites them to fit a category.

A review works best when it starts from the document that created the opportunity and not from the category someone has already named. An email with a start date, a letter of intent for a share purchase, or a memo from a head office each commits to specific things and leaves others open. Read it for what it promises, what it assumes, and who would have to confirm the missing pieces. Only then do diplomas, employment records, bank statements and corporate filings become relevant, because now you know which facts they need to prove.
Meet the people in your corner
Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Identify the organization that would issue the pay, the person who would assign the work, and any client or seller who keeps a say. Those three answers usually decide which route is even open.
A diploma, an employer letter, a purchase agreement and a bank history come from different hands. List each fact beside the person or office able to confirm it, and mark the ones nobody can yet.
A spouse's remote work, a teenager's age and a permanent-resident partner's passport are independent questions. Run each one against the actual rule instead of assuming the principal's status covers the rest.
Resignations, deposits, school registrations and lease signatures each have a right place in the sequence. Decide that order with the legal steps on the same calendar, and flag the ones that should wait for a review.
You do not need to arrive with a category chosen or a file assembled. Bring the offer, the transfer memo or the deal terms as they stand, explain the decision you are trying to make and the date pressure around it, and let the review show which questions remain. A U.S. job, a company purchase and a permanent-residence goal are often different files with different advisers, and sorting them early prevents one from being forced into the shape of another.
Find your pathwayShneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton review files remotely for households across the Québec region, including Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury. Before a consultation, write a short account of the opportunity, the people it affects and the questions you want answered, and ask what the session covers. Immigration eligibility, commercial due diligence and cross-border tax are separate specialties; expect to be told when a question belongs with another professional rather than have it answered loosely.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
No. The employer's offer describes the job and the pay; the route depends on whether that job fits a listed profession, whether the applicant is a Canadian citizen, and whether any corporate relationship or investment is involved. The same offer can point to different routes for different people.
Physical presence in the United States is what matters, not where the employer sits. Continuing remote work for a Québec employer while in TD or another dependent status raises its own authorization question that must be reviewed before the first workday, and the answer differs between TD, L-2 and E-2 spouses.
A purchase is only the starting point. The investor's treaty nationality, the size of the investment relative to the business, the investor's control, the lawful origin of the money and the business's ability to support more than the household are each examined separately.
Before any deposit, resignation or school withdrawal, and ideally before the offer letter is finalized. Wording in an offer or purchase agreement is easiest to correct while both parties still expect changes.
