Growing Your Business In The US: A Canadian's Guide to E Visas | Episode 59

Calgary immigration lawyer Evelyn Ackah explains how Canadian business owners and entrepreneurs can qualify for an E visa to grow their business in the United States.

The E Visa program provides a streamlined process for Canadians to obtain a U.S. work permit. An E visa is a type of nonimmigrant visa that is available to individuals who wish to enter the United States for a temporary period of time to engage in specific business activities. E visas are intended for individuals who are treaty traders or investors, and are only available to citizens of countries with which the United States has established treaties of commerce and navigation.

There are two types of E visas: E-1 visas and E-2 visas.

If you are interested in growing your business in the United States with an E visa, I encourage you to listen to my podcast. In this podcast, I will discuss the following topics:

• the differences between an E-1 and an E-2 visa
• what is a commerce treaty
• the requirements for a Canadian business owner to qualify for an E visa
• the processing of E visa applications through the Toronto Consulate
• moving employees to the U.S. on an E visa
• benefits of being a Canadian citizen when applying for an E visa
