UPCOMING VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLES

Canadian expats stuck in immigration “limbo” ask: “What are my options as a TN / H1B / L1 / Green Card applicant?”
Join us for a discussion with US immigration expert and attorney Ron Matten. Ron will translate what’s happening with US immigration, what Canadian expats need to know about their options, and what you need to do to prepare for any scenario.
If you are a Canadian living and working in the US, join fellow expats to get answers in this “Ask Me Anything” session hosted by C100.
