Larouche applicants comparing a job offer, a share option and a government programme are comparing three different kinds of number: an estimate, a right that may be exercised later, and a charge fixed by published rule. A budget that mixes them will be wrong in both directions at once.

THE DREAM IS YOURS.
LET’S FIND THE WAY.
Before choosing a route, price it honestly. Separate what an employer will pay, what a business costs to buy or start, what the government charges, and what professional help costs — then mark which of those figures are quoted, which are estimated, and which come from an official schedule.

A compensation headline blends base salary, benefits, bonus and sometimes equity, and none of those decides a professional entry. What decides it is the profession, the qualification standard attached to that profession, and the prearranged position with a U.S. employer or client. Read the offer for its duties and its credential requirement first, and treat the total figure as a separate commercial question.

Personal support.
A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
01
Read the terms before the total
Take the offer, the purchase agreement or the option deed apart line by line: what is paid, when, by whom, in what currency, and on what condition. A single headline number usually conceals a payment schedule and at least one condition nobody has satisfied yet.
02
Describe the work the money pays for
Compensation does not establish eligibility. Set out the professional duties, the managerial decisions, or the specialised knowledge of the company’s own product, process or procedures that the role actually requires, because that is the part any assessment will test.
03
Trace each amount back to its source
Follow every sum from where it was earned to where it now sits, with dated statements at each step. Counting the same funds twice as they move between accounts is a common and entirely avoidable defect in an investor file.
04
Budget the charges you cannot negotiate
Official charges follow published schedules and change without regard to your plan. Check the current figure at the official source on the day you file, and keep private professional fees in a separate column so a change in one does not silently rewrite the other.

Government charges are published rather than negotiated. U.S. immigration filing fees are set out in the USCIS fee schedule on Form G-1055; the EB-5 capital requirement is US$1,050,000, or US$800,000 for a targeted employment area or infrastructure project under the 2022 Reform and Integrity Act; and the Gold Card is a gift to the U.S. government plus a processing fee rather than a recoverable investment. Re-verify each of those before money moves.

Shneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton work with Larouche clients by video, phone and WhatsApp — a remote consultation practice, with nowhere here to visit and no number in the local exchange. On costs we do one thing carefully: itemise. Consulting fees, legal fees, government charges and third-party costs are quoted separately, estimates are labelled as estimates, and nothing is presented as a total until every line has a source. Legal fees are quoted that way because we are not a law firm: licensed U.S. attorneys are engaged where representation is required.

BEFORE THE BIG MOVE
LET’S CLEAR
LET’S CLEAR
A FEW THINGS UP.
Does a strong compensation package strengthen a TN case?
Not directly. TN turns on Canadian citizenship, a prearranged professional position listed in USMCA Appendix 2, and the degree, licence or experience that profession requires; salary is a commercial term. A generous package attached to a job title that is not a listed profession is still not a TN case, while a modest one attached to a listed profession may well be.
I hold an option to buy the business — am I an investor yet?
An option is a right to buy later, on stated conditions. Until it is exercised and the money is unconditionally committed, the capital is not at risk and the ownership is not yours. Read the exercise conditions, the notice requirements and any price adjustment, and record the date effective control actually passes. Hypothetical example: a machine-shop owner holding a twelve-month option over a Pennsylvania fabricator has a plan, not yet a treaty investment.
Is the Gold Card figure the whole cost?
No. The published amount is a gift to the U.S. government and a separate processing fee applies, with further amounts for eligible family members. It is not an EB-5 investment, no part of it comes back to you, and private costs such as legal or advisory fees sit outside it entirely. Confirm current terms on the official programme page before committing anything.
How should I compare an E-2 budget with an EB-5 filing?
They are different products, not two prices for one thing. E-2 requires capital substantial in relation to a real, operating and non-marginal enterprise that you develop and direct, and it offers no direct path to permanent residence. EB-5 requires US$1,050,000, or US$800,000 in a targeted employment area or infrastructure project, at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers, and leads to two years of conditional permanent residence, with Form I-829 filed in the 90 days before the second anniversary. Those EB-5 amounts are subject to statutory adjustment from 1 January 2027, so confirm the current figure at the official source before budgeting.
