Good fences may make good neighbors, but from an immigration
point of view the Canada/U.S. border can be a source of headaches
for businesses on both sides of the border.
When a business has offices in both Canada and the U.S. and
employees need to work in both countries, employees cannot bounce
back and forth over the border without the proper work
permits/visas. If a company wants to establish an new location in
Canada or the U.S. and wants to bring key employees into the
country to help set up the new business venture, proper work
permits/visas are also critical.
Compliance with immigration laws in Canada and the U.S. is
important for any business, whether it is a multinational company
or a small business, if their workforce includes foreign
nationals.
