Pathways
We support clients pursuing business-led pathways into Canada and the United States, focusing on alignment between the commercial opportunity and the applicable immigration framework.
Canada — Primary Focus
We work across Canada's federal and provincial business immigration pathways — including Provincial Nominee Entrepreneur Streams and the C-11 Significant Benefit Work Permit — matching the right program to your profile, capital position and objectives.
Based in the Greater Toronto Area, we have particular depth in Ontario, alongside pathways across other provinces. Our role is to help clients assess suitability and align the right jurisdiction with the right business strategy; the appointed RCIC confirms current eligibility on every file.

United States — Partner-Referral
The E-2 Treaty Investor visa lets nationals of treaty countries live and work in the United States by making a substantial, active investment in a U.S. business — one of the most practical routes for entrepreneurs and investors relocating through business ownership. As with everything we do, the visa is only as strong as the business behind it.
For clients exploring E-2, NBT refers the client to an established U.S. partner firm based in Chicago, which runs the entire engagement directly — business and franchise identification, due diligence, the business plan and source-of-funds narrative, real estate, and the full legal process. NBT's role is the introduction; we remain available at every stage for review and discussion if the client wishes to involve us.
E-2 eligibility, treaty-country status, and all legal filings are determined exclusively by licensed U.S. immigration attorneys.
E-2 Generally Requires
A qualifying, substantial investment
A real and operating U.S. business
Active management involvement
Alignment between investment structure and U.S. legal requirements
