The three most popular categories of American visa for Canadians are:


  1. The L-1 which involves a transfer from a Canadian company to an existing or new U.S. company. This application can be made at a U.S. border crossing.

The requirements for a subclass the L-1B have changed recently to make it more difficult.
  2. The TN visa was created in the NAFTA treaty and was supposed to make it easier for individuals with certain educational qualifications in selected job categories to work in the U.S. As the category has been abused over the years, in particular, management consultant, each application is heavily scrutinized and poorly prepared applications are frequently rejected.
  3. The H-1B category is now basically a lottery as it is oversubscribed and available visas are filled on April 1 of each year.
