E2 VISA HOLDERS

Hi there fellow Canadians

Not sure if you are aware but there is a group of E2 visa holders who are banding together to have a bill drawn up in Congress to make E2, able to be changed to permanent status. If you are interested in supporting please let me know.

What is an E2?

Hi Reba

An E2 visa is an investors visa which is valid for anywhere between 2-5 years. The investor has to employ Americans and contribute to the US economy. Just google it and you will find out everything you need to know.

I was just curious, I'd never heard of it.

Personally though, I'd prefer if monied Canadians keep their money and create jobs in Canada. Why buy themselves into the US?

With how Americans feel towards Immigration, it may be a hard sell. Best of luck

Well are'nt you all cheery. thats why we are forming a pressure group.

Not being rude but that attitude is typical Canadian!

I find it interesting you took my comment negatively! I wished you "good luck" and meant it in a positive manner. Immigration just isn't seen in a positive manner in many parts of the USA. I guess many just figure there relatives were hatched here! And yes My attitude is very "Canadian" it is very positive and I do not judge people on their color or where they live, or where they come from. Was very proud to serve 15 yrs in the Canadian Armed Forces. I refuse to be "Americanized"! Even though due to my wife's career path, I will be submitting paperwork to become a USA citizen this fall, but will always be proudly Canadian! Best of luck on ur journey.

Oh yes where abouts are u in RI? My inlaws have a summer place in Middletown RI. Always enjoy goin gup there for Tim Hortons, Newport Creamery, and just to chill! Cheers

Hi again-well my heritage is English and I took your good luck as being tongue in cheek, so I apologise for that.
We are going to Wakefield first until end of September and then to Warwick area.for the business anyway. We love Rhode Island, been going there since 1988.glad that they have the Tims there, althought Newport Creamery is very sparse now. There is one in North Longston but the one is Warwick shut down.

I cannot find more information on this topic online.
has there been a change in the E-2 residency status?
