Can a Canadian citizen own and operate a small/medium size business in US?
Can a Canadian citizen own and operate a small/medium size business in US? My wife is being offered a position at her current employer’s head office in Dallas. Will I be able to work or operate a small business?
Thousands of Canadian citizens own and operate businesses in the U.S. The majority of them have green cards (permanent resident visas). Some would be in the L-1, Intra-Company Transferee, classification. Some are in the E-1 or E-2 classifications which are for Treaty Traders and Treaty Investors. (Search Yahoo for more data)
If your wife’s visa classification permits her spouse to work, then you could work. For example, if your wife is an L-1, you would be an L-2, and you could apply for employment authorization, and then you could operate a business in the U.S.
It sounds like your wife may be classifiable as an L-1. If that is the case, you could be an L-2. You need to tell us what visa classification your wife is going to be in. If it’s L-1, you’re in good shape. If it’s H-1B, you’re in bad shape because spouses of H-1Bs cannot work.
