Selling to the US - What you need to know
Thursday, April 13, 2017
It is essential to be familiar with permissible business activities, and the immigration process.
Last month, with the help of four American licensed immigration lawyers, we held an event covering work permits to visa applications and cross-border activity. Our attendees left the event with a broader understanding of these topics, and a new outlook for American business opportunities.
If you were not able to attend, watch the video or listen to the podcast below for the full discussion and questions from the audience. And for additional information from Export Development Canada on entering the US Market, read their whitepaper on Logistics and Best Practices.
