Plans for L’Anse-Saint-Jean applicants tend to stall in the gap between an intention and a commitment: an onboarding date that is not permission to work, a letter of interest that is not an order, a project name that is not a contracting party. Naming that gap early costs far less than explaining it later.

THE DREAM IS YOURS.
LET’S FIND THE WAY.
Write down what has been agreed, by whom, and in which document. A start date, a proposal and a shortlisting are useful facts, but none of them answers whether the work is prearranged, whether capital is committed, or whether an enterprise is genuinely operating.

TN work has to be prearranged for a U.S. employer or client and cannot be self-employment in the United States, so an open-ended plan to move first and find work afterwards has no category to sit in. The employer’s letter should state the profession, the duties, the duration and the qualification relied upon before anyone books travel.

A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
01
Describe the activity, not the label
Onboarding, orientation and shadowing are scheduling words rather than immigration categories. Write out what the applicant will physically do in the United States, for whom, for how long and under whose direction, then confirm that lawful permission for that activity exists before it begins.
02
Ask who has actually committed
For every customer, investor or landlord in the plan, identify the document that binds them and the conditions still outstanding. A signed order, a conditional quotation and an expression of interest support very different claims about the same business.
03
Connect each item of evidence to its test
Every requirement has its own proof: citizenship and credentials for a professional entry, a qualifying year abroad and a corporate relationship for a transfer, committed capital and operating substance for a treaty investment. Assemble the file test by test instead of as one general bundle.
04
Keep the record current
Duties, addresses, ownership and contact details all change during preparation, and a file describing last quarter’s arrangement misdescribes the applicant. Update the underlying documents through whichever official process applies, then confirm the change reached the case record and not only your adviser.
A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY.
YOUR FUTURE.

NOW BOARDING.
E-2 asks whether capital is irrevocably committed and genuinely at risk, and whether the enterprise is real, operating and more than marginal. Funds parked in a personal account, or a refundable deposit, do not meet that test. Hypothetical example: an outfitting operator negotiating to buy a Maine kayak-tour business is not yet a treaty investor until the purchase money is unconditionally committed to that business.

Shneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton advise L’Anse-Saint-Jean clients from elsewhere, by telephone, video and WhatsApp, since the practice keeps neither premises nor a phone number in the municipality. Most of a first conversation is spent sorting statements into three piles: agreed in writing, conditional on someone else, and still only intended. What survives in the first pile is the case. This practice is not a law firm; licensed U.S. attorneys take over where legal advice is required.

BEFORE THE BIG MOVE
LET’S CLEAR
LET’S CLEAR
A FEW THINGS UP.
Can I start remote onboarding before my TN entry?
Treat that as a question about the activity, not the label. What matters is what the person will do, for whom, and where they are physically located when they do it, and whether lawful permission covers that at the moment it happens. Confirm the position with the employer and, where the answer is not obvious, take advice before the first task rather than after it.
I manage several sites — does that prove L-1A?
A count of locations is not a description of duties. L-1A asks whether the applicant will primarily perform managerial or executive work, supported by evidence of authority, staffing and the operations relied on. Multi-site responsibility helps only where the file shows the decisions taken, the people or functions supervised, and the continuous qualifying year with a related company abroad.
Should a letter of interest count towards my revenue forecast?
Show it for what it is. A letter of interest records that a customer would like to buy, usually subject to price, volume, timing or an internal approval. Separate signed orders from expressions of interest, state the conditions attached to each, and let the operating forecast rest on committed work plus a stated, testable assumption about the remainder.
I told my adviser my address changed — is that enough?
An adviser’s notes are not the official record. Contact and address changes go through whichever process applies to the filing in question, and the safest step is confirming afterwards that the case record itself now shows the new details. Notices go to the address on file, and a deadline missed because a notice went elsewhere is still a missed deadline.
