The time has come and I need your help. Calgary is great and I’ve been having a blast here for the last four years. Unfortunately the time has come for me to move. Many opportunities are opening up for me south of the border and I want to take advantage of them.

Here’s the deal, I’ve been self-employed for the last two years and this move is, so far, going to be on my own accord. There are two tremendous opportunities for me in the US, the first being establishing a new company with a fantastic partner and taking over the globe — in our niche — and the second is to start working for a newly established, grass-roots company.

Of course, I could just sell all my stuff and drive down there on the sly hoping that everything works out but I’m leaning towards doing this the legal way. In conversations with several people and reading many websites I know it’s possible for me to make the move but I don’t know how.

What I’m looking for is a good immigration lawyer that, based on the information above, won’t say “it probably won’t happen but give me money and we’ll try anyway.” They should look at this as a challenge they’re willing to accept and succeed at or better yet, an absolute guarantee a 90-100% chance that it will be done successfully.

Do you know anyone like this? Do your friends or family know anyone like this? If so, please, if you could ask them to email me (mike [at] screenflicker [dot] com) I would be forever grateful. Alternatively, you can leave a comment with their info and I’ll contact them.

    Good luck with the “absolute guarantee” thing.

    haha, I know that will turn a few heads, maybe I should adjust that a bit. ;)

    Won’t your company hook you up when they hire you?

    That’s the thing, I’m not sure how easy it is for a new company to hire outside of the country. One person I spoke to mentioned that the company would have to post significant profits before I could be hired — of course, this person may have been talking out their ass but I can’t be certain either way.

    The other factor would be that this company would basically have 2 or 3 employees, one of those being myself.

    Here’s another question, is there such a thing as sponsorship in the US? Can a US citizen sponsor the moving of someone from another country, thus allowing that individual to legally move and seek employment?
