Expanding Your Canadian Business to the U.S.: What the L-1A Visa Requires and What Your L1 Business Plan Needs to Show
For Canadian companies using the L-1A new office route, the initial approval is granted for only one year, which makes the first business plan more than a filing document — it becomes the benchmark USCIS will later measure the U.S. operation against. At extension, the agency will look not just at whether the business exists, but whether it developed in a manner consistent with the original petition, including staffing, revenue, and the transferee’s executive or managerial role. This is why a strong L-1A business plan must be realistic, well-supported, and built to withstand extension-stage scrutiny, not simply to make the initial filing look ambitious.
How an L-1A New Office Business Plan Differs From a Standard Business Plan
