Immigration

Immigrating to the United States

Canadians who wish to work or immigrate to the United States must apply for the appropriate visa or waiver, despite the close relationship between the two countries. The specific application you need depends on your situation. For instance, an L-1A visa for certain employees, or a Green Card or K-1 visa if you are married to or planning to marry an American. If you have a criminal conviction or conditional discharge, a waiver is necessary before entering the United States.

U.S. immigration is highly document-focused, with little tolerance for omissions, inaccuracies, or claims that lack sufficient support. Our immigration lawyers are licensed to practice law in the United States and have extensive experience preparing accurate, complete applications. We have assisted many individuals in gaining entry into the U.S. or in ending their citizenship, and we look forward to helping you.
