CAN ANYBODY OFFER ADVICE.PLEASE HELP ME!

Canadian chefs can obtain H-1Bs when they are available (File April 1, 2008 for October 1, 2008 start date) or O-1s if they have extraordinary ability. There are probably also J-1 programs for chefs. And of course all chefs can be sponsored for a green card. (Permanent Resident status). There is no TN profession for chefs.
