Canadian Visas & Citizenship For Americans
Attorney-guided pathways for U.S. citizens and residents who want to work, study, settle, or naturalize in Canada.
Pathways We Help Americans Navigate
From short-term work permits to permanent residence and citizenship, we help you choose the route that fits your career, family, and timeline.
Express Entry
Canada's points-based system for skilled workers, including Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades programs.
Work Permits (CUSMA/USMCA)
Qualifying American professionals can obtain work permits faster under CUSMA, plus intra-company transfers and employer-supported LMIA permits.
Study Permits
Study in Canada at a designated learning institution, with post-graduation work options that can lead to permanent residence.
Family Sponsorship
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor spouses, common-law partners, children, and certain relatives.
Provincial Nominee Programs
Provinces nominate candidates whose skills match local labor needs, often boosting Express Entry scores significantly.
Canadian Citizenship
After meeting physical presence, tax, and language requirements as a permanent resident, Americans can naturalize while keeping U.S. citizenship.
