Canadians Immigrating to the U.S.
What types of visas are available for Canadians moving to the US?
There are several visa options for Canadians depending on your situation:
- Non-Immigrant Visas: For temporary stays, such as work (H-1B, L-1), student (F-1), or visitor (B-1/B-2) visas.
- Immigrant Visas: For those looking to move permanently, including family-sponsored (e.g., IR-1, F2A) and employment-based (e.g., EB-2, EB-3) visas.
- E-2 Treaty Investor Visa: For Canadians investing in or managing a business in the US.
How can I determine which visa is right for me?
Choosing the right visa depends on your individual circumstances, including your purpose for moving, your qualifications, and your long-term goals. Our team can help assess your situation and guide you through the best visa options.
What are the requirements for obtaining an employment-based visa?
Requirements vary by visa category but typically include:
- A valid job offer from a US employer.
- Proof of qualifications and experience.
- Labor certification (for some visa types).
- Meeting specific educational and professional criteria.
How long does the visa application process take?
Processing times can vary based on the type of visa, current workload at immigration offices, and any additional required documentation. It’s essential to start the process early and be prepared for potential delays.
How can I check the status of my visa application?
You can check the status of your visa application online through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website or by contacting the US embassy or consulate handling your case.
Can I apply for a green card while on a temporary visa?
Yes, in many cases, you can apply for a green card while on a temporary visa, often through an employment-based or family-sponsored immigration process. We can help guide you through the transition from a temporary to a permanent status.
