How to prepare for your consultation

  • Your passport and those of any family members moving with you.
  • Your resume, or a short summary of your education and work history.
  • Any US job offer, business plan or business you’re looking at, if you have one.
  • A rough idea of your budget, if you’re thinking about an investment or business visa.
  • Details of any past US visa refusals, border problems or criminal records, even old ones. Being upfront helps us find the right solution.
  • Your questions. Write them down so nothing gets missed.

Why planning matters more than ever

US immigration rules and border checks have become stricter. Applications get closer review, and small mistakes can lead to refusals or delays. The good news: with the right route and careful preparation, many Canadians are still moving to the US successfully. Our job is to help you get it right the first time.
