E-2 visa considerations for Canadian nationals

Canada is the second-largest source of E-2 Treaty Investor Visa holders, with approximately 6,800 visas issued annually. Canadian nationals have a long history of cross-border investment in the United States, and E-2 is one of several U.S. immigration pathways available to Canadians — alongside TN (under USMCA), E-1 (trade), and the standard immigrant visa routes. Watson Immigration Law advises Canadian investors on whether E-2 or another pathway best fits their specific situation.
