L-1 Visas For Canadians Who Qualify for an Intracompany Transfer to the US | Episode 62

Calgary immigration lawyer Evelyn Ackah explains L-1 visas for Canadian citizens who qualify for an intracompany transfer to a U.S. company.

The L-1 visa allows Canadian citizens who have worked for a Canadian entity for at least 12 months in the past 3 years to transfer to a related US entity in a managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge role. The L-1 visa can be processed at the border for Canadian citizens, and spouses of L-1 visa holders are eligible to work in the US. The fees for L-1 visas are expected to increase in May or soon after, so it is recommended to apply sooner rather than later. Ackah Law can assist with L-1 visa applications.

Here are some of the key points from the discussion:
