TN
That U.S. opportunity is worth a conversation. Explore professional work through the TN pathway.
Strait Shores applicants may hold several roles at once: professional worker, shareholder, manager or family contributor. Identify which facts support the proposed US activity. Titles, payment labels and ownership percentages can be relevant without deciding every requirement.

Compare TN, L-1A, L-1B, E-2, EB-5 and the current Gold Card framework. Each pathway needs a specific account of citizenship, qualifications, duties, organizations, funds and personal eligibility. If the scale of your venture is still taking shape, use the journey tool or book a free initial consultation and bring your current business concept and available capital range. Bring the offer or the business proposal exactly as it stands, including the parts that are still verbal, and say plainly which facts you are unsure of. A second meeting follows once the missing records arrive, and written questions to an employer, seller or trustee are drafted with you so that the answers come back in a form that can go into the file.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Keep professional and routine duties accurate.

Read what a record establishes. A distribution is not the whole employment history, access to a manual is not proof of advanced expertise, and several payroll names may represent one position. Keep the analysis tied to actual evidence.
Meet the people in your cornerPersonal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Distinguish worker, manager, owner and contributor responsibilities.
Check duties, rights, payment purposes and employment records.
Assess the proposed activity under the relevant category.
Preserve amendments and avoid treating old arrangements as current.
Bring overlapping roles and unresolved terms into the review. A clear account can identify the relevant route without misdescribing ownership, duties or funds to fit a preferred label.
Find your pathwaySummarize the decision and the documents that bear on it. Confirm professional scope and fees. Immigration requirements and private employment or investment obligations may call for separate advice.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
List the real tasks and explain how the job uses the claimed professional qualification. Include routine responsibilities instead of removing them to make the description sound more specialized. An accurate picture allows the occupation and qualifications to be assessed together. A polished title or a selective list cannot establish TN eligibility for work that does not fit the applicable profession.
Use records of the work itself: dates, responsibilities, organizational position and actual duties. Ownership documents and distributions explain financial rights, but do not necessarily establish the required employment history or capacity. Keep those strands distinct when assessing a company transfer. Describe any gaps or overlapping roles so the reviewer can evaluate the employment requirement on the true record.
Bring the ownership schedule and agreements governing votes, appointments and operational authority. Explain which rights are actually exercisable and any conditions attached to them. For E-2, enterprise nationality and the ability to develop and direct are different questions that must both be assessed. A percentage by itself leaves the governing arrangement unexplained.
Prepare a position history showing who held the role and when. Distinguish turnover in one job from genuinely additional positions, and identify the applicable job-creation methodology. Payroll names alone can overstate what was created. The analysis also needs to consider qualifying workers and the programme’s employment requirements rather than simply counting every person paid.
First identify the current application stage and the official instructions that apply to the proposed payer or sponsorship change. Preserve earlier receipts and correspondence. Do not assume that an individual payment is credited to a corporate case or that changing the source of funds automatically changes the application category. Resolve those questions before submitting another payment.
