Is there a hope in hell for a Canadian working in the broadcasting industry (in a
technical capacity, behind the scenes) to get a permit to work in the US full time & continue to live in Canada? From what I've read, this type of job doesn't fall into any category and it seems entirely unlikely that I could. Please email me to let me know. Thanks in advance! Dave. |
You probably should talk with a US imm. atty. who specializes in US-Canada
immigration. Joe Grasmick and Jim Eiss are two that come to mind - both in Buffalo. See http://www.grasmick.com for one. Dave wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > |
Thanks Stuart. Will do.

Even for this profession? I don't see it specifically listed in anything I've read.
I've got a degree in Journalism and 5 years experience in broadcasting. Wonder if I could weasel my way through. Looking at salaries for comparable jobs in the US, it's hard to justify not at least trying to get a permit. Thanks, Dave.

I believe there is a special visa category created for journalists working in the US, on assignment anyways, but this may be just temporary and not long term. I can't remember if you have a job already and they're placing you in the US or if you're looking for a job here, but If a Canadian media house is placing you in the US on assignment, you can get a journalism type visa (I think it's an "I" visa or something of the sort). If you're looking for a job here you can work on a TN-1. |
