Toronto · September 19-20

The U.S. has a visa for
people who own a business

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.

Who you will be sitting with

Grant runs the 1-on-1. Alaattin is at the table for everything on the business side.

Dan Durney
Grant Dwyer
Immigration Attorney, Grant Dwyer Law

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.

Patrick Findaro
Alaattin Kılıç
Senior Client Advisor, Visa Franchise

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.

What thirty minutes actually gets you

How the visa paths work

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.

Which route fits your plan

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.

What it costs and what comes next

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.
