Hypothetical example: a New Maryland couple both work for the provincial government, one as an economist in a policy branch and the other in an information-technology unit. The economist has been recruited by a U.S. consulting firm that advises utilities on rate cases. Their questions are less about whether the route exists than about order: when to give notice, when to list the house, when to file, and what the IT spouse can do first so that nobody arrives with nothing to do. This edition treats that ordering problem as the main task.
The pages here explain TN professional entry, L-1A and L-1B intracompany transfers, E-2 treaty investment, EB-5 immigrant investment and the official Gold Card program for residents of New Maryland. All six are governed by federal U.S. law and none depends on living in a particular village. The examples illustrate how the steps of each route depend on one another; they say nothing about how many local households use any of them.
Choose what brings you here. Leave with a short list of things to discuss—not another long form to fill out.
The order protects the applicant's current job until the new one is authorized.

Every route has a spine of dependencies. A TN admission depends on an offer that exists before the border; an L-1 depends on a corporate relationship that exists before the petition; an E-2 depends on money committed before the interview; an EB-5 depends on a source-of-funds file that exists before the subscription. Draw that spine for each possibility, mark the step you cannot undo, and do not take it until everything upstream is settled.

A practical plan.
No promises we can’t keep.
For each possibility, write the steps in the order the law requires them and mark which are reversible. The irreversible step sets the pace for everything before it.
State licences, credential evaluations, translations and source-of-funds tracing take longer than the immigration filing itself and can run in parallel with it.
A spouse's work rights, a child's age and each person's citizenship shape the move. Confirm them on paper before resignation or sale.
Give notice, close the sale or wire the funds only when the admission, approval or committed-funds arrangement that the step depends on is already in place.
A household that has sequenced its plan can act calmly. Notice is given after the admission, not before; the house is listed after the family's status is settled, not on hope; the spouse's licensing application starts months before the move because it is slow. Nothing in this edition requires anyone to come anywhere: the sequencing work happens over remote consultations, on the household's own documents.
Find your pathwayShneur Herman, Jo Kubti and Alexander Paton begin each New Maryland file by asking what has to be true before each step can be taken. They keep the immigration dependencies separate from employment, tax and licensing dependencies while making sure the timelines fit together. Where a step belongs to another professional, such as a state licensing board or a tax adviser, they identify it and leave it there. All consultations are remote.
Let’s connectArrange a remote consultation to discuss your next steps.
After the TN admission or petition approval, not before. The admission depends on the offer and the credentials, and a resignation cannot be undone if the request is refused at the port of entry.
Looking is fine; working is not, unless the spouse has a route of their own. A TD spouse may study but may not work, so a separate route based on the spouse's own qualifications must be settled first.
The purchase agreement and the committed funds come first, with an escrow that releases on approval; the application follows. Closing unconditionally before the decision puts the money at risk without any assurance of status.
No. Consultations for this edition are remote, and the sequencing work is done on the household's documents and calendar.
