Is there an investor visa for Canadians and Mexicans?

It is important to understand that US non-immigrant visas, including those for investors, have specific requirements and categories, and there is not always an option specifically geared toward citizens of certain countries under the same visa category.

Currently, the TN visa – created in the context of the North American Agreement (which replaced NAFTA) – is intended for qualified professionals to work temporarily in the US, and does not include an investor category.

For immigration through investment, two options can be considered: the E-2 visa (for treaty investors), available to Mexicans who meet the requirements, and the EB-5 visa (for investors seeking permanent residence), open to all nationalities including Canadians and Mexicans, provided they meet the investment and job creation requirements.

It is essential that interested parties seek official information and consult specialized professionals to avoid legal risks and fraud.
