Are TN Visas and other US Work Permits like L-1 and E-2 Business Visas still being issued for Canadians during this economic crisis?

By Michael Niren July 21, 2009 0 min. read

As you all know, we are in the midst of a economic recession on both the US and Canadian side of the borders. Unemployment is up, business profits are down and people are rightly concerned about their futures. Many of our clients are asking about whether the US is still “open for business” for Canadians wishing to get US Work Permits like TN Visas, L-1 or E-2 Visas to the US.

Well the good news is that the answer is a resounding “Yes”! We are still seeing a high volume of applications for US Visas from qualified Canadians wishing to live and work in the US. It seems that despite the recession, US Employers are still and always will be in search of qualified and competent workers and Canadians certainly fit the bill!  We at Niren and Associates Immigration Lawyers are proud to be a part of the Visa process for our Canadian clients who, in most cases, report great success in the US.

I have nothing but praise! The entire team was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind, especially Mansi Sanghiv. She patiently explained everything I needed to know and resolved all of my concerns. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire process. I am extremely satisfied with the service and experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, dedication, and trust.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
