CANADIAN ROOTSAMERICAN HORIZONS

Hypothetical example: a Rothesay corporate controller is offered the role of chief financial officer at her employer's U.S. affiliate. The offer letter is generous and the title is impressive, but the affiliate has four employees and no finance staff, so the job would mostly be bookkeeping and tax filings. Her husband runs a small portrait-photography business from home and wants to keep it going. The title suggests L-1A; the duties may point to TN as an accountant; the husband's plan fits neither without its own analysis.

THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY FORWARD.

THE DREAM IS YOURS.
LET’S FIND THE WAY.

The Rothesay edition covers the routes a professional household in the Kennebecasis Valley is most likely to weigh: TN for listed professions, L-1A and L-1B for transfers within a corporate group, E-2 for treaty investors, EB-5 for immigrant investors and the official Gold Card framework. The material tests titles and plans against the actual rule for each, because a job description written for a promotion is rarely written for an officer.

FOR PEOPLE WHO SEE A LITTLE FURTHER.

YOU WEREN’T
MADE TO
THINK SMALL.

Ask what the person will do on an ordinary Tuesday. A chief financial officer who supervises no one and prepares the ledger herself is doing professional accounting, which the TN Accountant listing covers if she holds a baccalaureate or a CPA designation. An L-1A petition for the same person would have to show primarily managerial or executive duties, and an affiliate with four employees may not support that. Neither answer is embarrassing; the wrong one, filed confidently, is.

THE BIG MOVE. BROKEN DOWN.

FROM “ONE DAY”
TO YOUR NEXT STEP.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.

Write the duties without the title

List what the role actually involves, hour by hour if necessary. Supervision, decisions, deliverables and who else does the hands-on work.

Fit the duties to a category

Professional work in a listed profession points to TN; primarily managerial or executive work inside a corporate group points to L-1A. Let the duties choose.

Test the household's other plans

A spouse's home business, a child's college year, a parent's visit. Each is a separate permission with its own rule.

Agree the sequence in writing

Which application goes first, what would trigger the next, and what evidence must exist before each step. Revisit when the facts change.

A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY.

YOUR FUTURE.
NOW BOARDING.

Bring the org chart the affiliate actually has, not the one it hopes to have. If the U.S. entity intends to hire two accountants within a year, that is a plan, and a plan can support a new-office style argument only with evidence. If the controller would rather take a TN as an accountant now and revisit L-1A once a team exists, that sequence can be written down and followed. Presenting the current facts plainly lets the reviewer propose the sequence rather than defend a title.

ROTHESAY IS HOME. THE WORLD IS OPEN.

SUPPORT THAT REACHES YOU.
A BIGGER HORIZON.

Keep the employer's HR team, the affiliate's general manager and the immigration reviewer working from one description of the role. A title chosen for salary banding, a duty list chosen for recruiting and a petition narrative chosen for approval will contradict each other if nobody reconciles them. The person who knows the truth of the job is usually the applicant; the reviewer's task is to fit the truth to a category, not the reverse.

BEFORE THE BIG MOVE

LET’S CLEAR
A FEW THINGS UP.

My Rothesay employer is calling the U.S. role CFO. Does that make it an L-1A?

No. L-1A looks at what the role primarily involves. A chief financial officer who personally performs the accounting for a small affiliate, with no finance staff to direct, may be doing professional rather than managerial work, which would suggest TN as an accountant instead.

Can my husband keep running his photography business from our U.S. home?

That depends on his status. A TD spouse may not work, including self-employment performed in the United States. An L-2 or E-2 spouse is employment-authorized incident to status. The category the principal holds decides what the spouse may do.

Is a CPA designation enough for a TN accountant application?

The Accountant listing accepts a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree, or a CPA, CA, CGA or CMA designation. The designation must be current and documented, and the employer letter must describe accounting work, not general management.

We want to keep the door open to permanent residence. Does that change the first step?

It can. L-1A can support a later employment-based immigrant petition in some circumstances; TN is a temporary category and E-2 has no direct path to permanent residence. Say so at the start so the sequence can be planned with that in mind.
