Compliance and guidance for your move
Moving from Canada to the United States on an E-2 visa is an exciting opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors—but it also comes with complex tax and financial reporting obligations on both sides of the border.
As a cross-border CPA firm specializing in Canadian-to-U.S. transitions, we help E-2 visa holders structure their move properly, stay compliant, and avoid unnecessary tax costs during every stage of the transition.
Dual-country tax filing obligations require you to file and coordinate both Canadian and U.S. tax returns to ensure full compliance and avoid double taxation.
Determining U.S. tax residency status involves analyzing rules like the Substantial Presence Test to establish when and how your worldwide income becomes taxable in the United States.
With proper planning, you can avoid double taxation, missed filings, and unexpected penalties.
Our E-2 Visa CPA Services are focused on helping Canadian entrepreneurs properly structure their U.S. business under the E-2 treaty investor visa. We provide cross-border tax and advisory support to ensure your entity setup aligns with both immigration requirements and long-term tax efficiency.
Before and during your move, we help you evaluate and establish the right U.S. business structure for your E-2 investment, including whether an LLC, S-Corporation, or C-Corporation is most appropriate for your operations. We also assist with ownership structuring, capital injection planning, and ensuring the business is properly aligned with E-2 visa control and investment requirements.
Once your E-2 business is operational, we support ongoing structuring decisions such as compensation planning, profit distribution strategy, and reinvestment planning. We also coordinate cross-border considerations between your Canadian exit and U.S. business operations to ensure compliance, minimize tax friction, and maintain a structure that supports growth and visa compliance.
