A Ferland-et-Boilleau file often contains four parties at once: an employer, a related company abroad, a supplier, and whoever is paying the charges. Working out which of them owns a resource, directs the work and carries a payment obligation settles more questions than any single form ever does.

Relocation benefits, a temporary assignment abroad and a corporate sponsorship each answer part of a case, and none of them answers all of it. Begin from who employs, who controls the work and who holds the assets, then pick the category that those facts already support.

MADE TO

An L-1 petition asks two questions before it asks anything about the person: is there a qualifying relationship between a parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate, and are both entities actually doing business. Only then does it examine whether the applicant’s duties are primarily managerial or executive, or rest on specialised knowledge of the company’s own product, process or procedures.

FROM “ONE DAY”
FROM “ONE DAY”
TO YOUR NEXT STEP.
Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
01
Identify the entity behind each promise
List every company named in the plan and say what each one does: employs the applicant, holds the qualifying relationship abroad, supplies equipment, or pays a fee. A single group brand hides distinctions that an L-1 petition has to state precisely, with evidence that both entities are trading.
02
Assign responsibility, not credit
Set out who directs the work day to day, who may reassign the applicant, who approves spending and who provides the tools. Where an assignment sits at a client’s premises, record how the petitioning employer keeps control of the work rather than handing it to the client.
03
Match the category to the facts you hold
A management title points toward L-1A, deep familiarity with the company’s own methods points toward L-1B, and ownership of a U.S. enterprise points somewhere else entirely. Choose the category your evidence already supports rather than the one that sounds most impressive.
04
Plan each person separately
A household does not share one permission. A spouse in L-2 status is employment-authorised incident to status, dependants in other categories may not work at all, and any sponsorship charge attaches to a named individual rather than to a family total.
A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY.
YOUR FUTURE.
YOUR FUTURE.
NOW BOARDING.
Placement at a client site is permitted but narrow: the work must stay under the petitioning employer’s control and must not amount to labour for hire supplied to another company. Spouses in L-2 status are employment-authorised incident to that status, which changes household planning. The published corporate Gold Card figure is a gift of US$2 million per employee paid to the U.S. government, with processing charged separately.

A BIGGER HORIZON.
Shneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton support Ferland-et-Boilleau households from a distance; nothing about this practice is walk-in, and appointments happen by video call, telephone or WhatsApp. Our job is keeping the parties straight — which company employs, which one controls the assignment, which entity owns the equipment, and who is invoiced for each official charge — so that a petition describes an arrangement that genuinely exists. We are not a law firm, and licensed U.S. counsel handles any legal representation.

BEFORE THE BIG MOVE
LET’S CLEAR
LET’S CLEAR
A FEW THINGS UP.
Does a relocation allowance help establish TN eligibility?
It does not. A relocation package is a term of employment, while TN eligibility turns on Canadian citizenship, a prearranged professional position appearing in USMCA Appendix 2, and the qualification that profession requires. Keep the allowance in the employment file where it belongs, and build the immigration file from the job description, the credential and the employer’s letter.
Our team leader is away — does covering the role make me L-1A?
Covering duties temporarily is not the same as holding them. L-1A looks at what the applicant will primarily do in the U.S. role, plus one continuous year of qualifying employment with a related company abroad in the three years before the petition. Interim cover that ends when the leader returns should be described honestly. Hypothetical example: a sawmill-equipment maintenance planner covering a plant manager for one season is usually better placed as an L-1B candidate on the plant’s own maintenance methods.
Can a supplier’s machinery count as my E-2 investment?
Only what you have actually committed counts. Equipment owned or financed by a supplier remains the supplier’s asset, whatever it contributes to the operation. Show the funds you have irrevocably committed and placed at risk, identify the assets your enterprise owns or has contracted to buy, and describe the supplier arrangement separately as a commercial relationship.
One corporate sponsor — is that one Gold Card payment for everyone?
No. The published corporate figure is a gift of US$2 million per employee made to the U.S. government, with processing charged separately and eligible family members added on their own terms. It is a gift to the government rather than an investment in a business, and it is not an EB-5 filing. Confirm the current terms on the official programme page before any money moves.
