TN
That U.S. opportunity is worth a conversation. Explore professional work through the TN pathway.
Forecasts, full-time equivalents and confidentiality clauses all describe reality at one remove. Sainte-Rose-du-Nord applicants avoid trouble by writing down what each number measures, who prepared it, and what would have to remain true for it to hold.

Behind every total there is a method. Ask which contracts are committed and which are optional, whether a staffing figure counts people or hours, and whether a cost belongs to your business or to an official schedule. The method is what a reviewer ends up testing.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
Connect genuine duties with the listed profession.

Confidentiality does not remove the obligation to describe the work. A truthful account can be written at the level of function, method and responsibility without disclosing a client’s protected material, and that account is what an L-1B specialised-knowledge claim depends on. Time limits matter too: L-1A status runs to a maximum of seven years and L-1B to five.

A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
Where a client agreement restricts disclosure, describe the function, the methods and the responsibility instead of the client’s confidential material. A truthful general account, specific about your own role, is far more useful than a redacted document nobody can read.
Job titles change on a date; knowledge and responsibility accumulate over time. Set out when the work actually began, what it involved before and after any reclassification, and which colleagues or records can confirm the period being relied on.
Ask what a revenue projection assumes about renewals, pricing and payment terms, and what a staffing number actually counts. A figure built on optional renewals and a headcount assembled from part-time hours describe a business very differently from the same totals built on committed work and full-time posts.
Business spending, official programme amounts and family-related charges answer to different rules and different documents. List them in separate columns with their sources, so an invoice you chose to pay is never mistaken for an official amount you owe.
EB-5 counts full-time positions for qualifying U.S. workers, so an aggregate of hours converted into equivalents is a methodology that has to be explained and supported rather than a shortcut anyone will accept. Keep those job numbers apart from ordinary recruitment spending, which is a business expense of your own, and apart from the official amounts a programme requires you to pay.
Find your pathwayShneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton work with Sainte-Rose-du-Nord clients over video, telephone and WhatsApp; this is a remote practice, with no door here and no number in the local book. A good file can say what is uncertain. We record the assumption behind each figure, the person who prepared it, and the document that would confirm or contradict it, so nothing rests on a number whose origin nobody remembers. We are not a law firm, and licensed U.S. attorneys advise where representation is needed.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
Yes, at the right level of abstraction. Describe the function, the systems and the responsibility rather than a client’s protected material, and ask your employer what may be disclosed and in what form. Hypothetical example: a software team lead bound by a client NDA can set out four years of work on her own company’s deployment and testing methods, and the platform decisions she owns, without ever naming the client.
The knowledge began when the work did. A reclassification date is a human-resources event; what supports an L-1B claim is the period during which the applicant actually learned and applied the company’s own methods. Gather project records, internal documentation and colleague confirmations covering the whole period, not only the time since the new title.
Treat that as a question about methodology. The requirement is at least ten full-time positions for qualifying U.S. workers, so a total assembled from part-time hours needs an explanation of how the positions were counted and what the underlying work arrangements are. Prepare the payroll evidence and the counting method together, and be ready to defend both.
They do not. Money paid to agencies, advertisers or advisers is private expenditure by your business, whereas the corporate Gold Card gift goes to the U.S. government under the terms of the programme, is evidenced by its own receipt, and carries processing charged separately. Keep the two apart in the accounts and re-verify the published terms before anything is paid. It is also worth remembering that a treaty investment offers no direct path to permanent residence, and that Canadian citizenship and Canadian permanent residence remain different facts with different consequences.
