nashman666 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I am a small business owner based in Toronto. My firm is contracted to do work in the US through another international company based in Australia who has signed a contract with the US company. The Australian company has then subcontracted the work to me. I get pain in Canadian Dollars. The nature of the work is temporary) a few days. I am a Canadian Citizen. What type of visa do I need? Thank you in advance for your responses. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) You can not do work in the US with your foreign company. You can do meetings with a B1 visa, but for work you would either have to become an employee of the US company on H1, or you would have to set up a subsidiary in the US and use an L1 visa (intracompany work) to wok for the US subsidiary. For details you need to consult with a good US immigration lawyer. Edited August 5, 2019 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
User099 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 You can look into TN status or TN visa and see if your work qualifies for a TN status. But I think the US company will need to sponser your TN Status/Visa. Quote Link to comment
