42% of Canadian businesses are looking to relocate to the United States, and it’s my job to help them do it in a way that benefits them, the United States, and its citizens.

According to a new study by KPMG, the top reasons for this mass exodus to the U.S. include avoiding or reducing high import tariffs, ongoing trade uncertainty, lower operating costs, and a more favorable tax environment.

If you’re a Canadian entrepreneur who loves America and wants to make your move to the U.S., here are 3 great nonimmigrant visa options to consider:

1. The E-2 visa is Ideal for Canadians who invest at least $100,000 in a U.S. business that they own, direct, and develop. You can invest in a startup, franchise or acquired business.

2. The E-1 visa is designed for businesses engaged in “substantial trade” between Canada and the United States. It’s perfect if your company regularly imports or exports goods or services across the border. And

3. The L-1 visa can work if you already own a successful medium-sized or large Canadian business. It lets you open or expand a U.S. office and transfer key executives, managers, or specialized knowledge employees to run it.
