No lottery. No employer sponsoring you. If you buy a franchise, start your own company, or move the business you already run in Canada across the border, that opens a set of U.S. visa categories most people never hear about.
On September 19 and 20 we are at the National Franchise Show in Toronto with Grant Dwyer, an independent immigration attorney we work with. Book a free thirty minute sit-down and ask him how it actually works for someone in your position.
Thirty minutes, no cost, no obligation. Tell us a little about your situation and we will confirm your time slot by email and WhatsApp, along with your free ticket to the show.
Can't make it to Toronto? Send the form anyway and we will set up a video call instead.
Grant runs the 1-on-1. Alaattin is at the table for everything on the business side.

Grant has practiced U.S. immigration law for more than twelve years and runs his own firm. He is an independent attorney Visa Franchise works with, not in-house counsel, so the legal side of your case sits with a lawyer you engage directly. Your thirty minutes are his, and you can ask him the questions you have been reading conflicting answers to online.

Alaattin handles the part that has nothing to do with the law: what the business actually costs, how long it takes to open, and how people in your situation have structured it. If you want to walk the show floor afterwards with a clearer filter, he is the one to ask.
Canada's largest own-your-own-business event: two days, hundreds of brands, and free seminars at The International Centre. Send the form below and we will hold a private slot for you with Grant, plus send you a free ticket to the show.

Grant walks you through the categories built for business owners and investors: E-2, E-1, L-1 and O-1. What each one is designed for, what the process involves, and how long it usually takes. Whether your own case fits is something he assesses once he has your full picture.
Buy a franchise, build your own company from scratch, or move the business you already run in Canada into the U.S. Three very different routes, with different capital, timelines and paperwork. We lay out what each one involves so you can see where you would realistically start.
The practical side: what the investment ranges look like, setting up the company, moving a family, and the costs nobody puts in a brochure. You leave with a sequence of steps in order, not a pile of brochures.
