Canadian businesses seeking to expand into the United States can take advantage of the L-1 Visa for Intracompany Transfers.

Canadians with extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics — or those with a proven record of outstanding achievement in film or television recognized nationally or internationally — may qualify to apply for an O-1 Visa to work in the United States, with support from our US Immigration Consulting for Canadians.
