E-2 visa approval for Canadian investor in 7 weeks

From Canada to the U.S.: How a Canadian Wellness Entrepreneur Secured Her E-2 Visa

If you’re a Canadian entrepreneur dreaming of launching a business in the U.S., the E-2 Treaty Investor visa can be your gateway. Recently, we helped a Canadian investor turn her passion for wellness into a thriving U.S. enterprise—earning E-2 approval in record time.

The Vision: Building a Wellness Hub
Our client is a Canadian citizen passionate about holistic health. She envisioned a professional wellness center offering massage therapy, personal training, nutrition counseling, and corporate wellness experiences in the U.S.

Investing in Success

To bring this vision to life, she developed a comprehensive business plan with five-year projections, secured a commercial location, and fully outfitted the space. She invested in equipment and supplies, obtained insurance, launched marketing efforts, and executed a lease for her wellness facility. The investment funds were derived from multiple legitimate sources, all of which were carefully documented.

The E-2 Application Journey
An essential part of the process was showing the U.S. consulate in Toronto that the investment was substantial and the funds were legitimately sourced. We prepared a thorough application, including a detailed business plan, proof of expenditures, and comprehensive source-of-funds documentation.

Quick Turnaround, Big Win
The consulate reviewed her application in just two weeks, with the interview scheduled shortly thereafter—within five weeks.  She walked out with an approved E-2 visa, ready to manage and direct her new U.S. business.

Why This Matters
This story shows how a well-prepared E-2 application can move quickly. For Canadian investors, the E-2 visa offers a straightforward path to building and running a U.S. business—especially when you have the right guidance.

Treaty investor (E-2) visa for Czech dealer of motorized surfboard

My client, a Czech entrepreneur, formed a US company that entered into a dealer agreement with importer of motorized surfboard manufactured in the Czech Republic. Motorized surfboard is an ultra-light high tech personal watercraft and MotoSurf is one of the fastest growing sports.

My client’s company focuses on marketing, sales and service of motorized surfboards boards. The investment was “substantial” and consisted with showroom construction, furniture, equipment, tools, event expenses, payroll and other related expenses. The company started with just four employees and is expanding quickly.

The investment is not marginal and the enterprise is real and doing business. The treaty investor (E-2) visa was approved pursuant to bilateral treaty between the US and the Czech Republic.
