Canadian management experience does not itself permit the spouse to manage the U.S. enterprise. Determine the proposed U.S. duties and the spouse’s valid status before relying on the experience.
Prepare separate accounts of past competence and present permission
Use Canadian records to show what the spouse has actually managed, then identify what authority and duties the U.S. role would involve. Do not use one organization’s job title as proof that the person is already authorized at the other. Qualifying E spouses may work incident to valid status with appropriate documentation. E dependents generally must be a spouse or unmarried child under 21, and children do not receive that spousal work benefit. A strong history can explain why the business wants this person, but the relationship and status records must independently support the proposed work before the company schedules it.
For a spouse planning work, confirm the current status evidence that an employer will request and distinguish immigration authorization from professional licensing or local employment rules. List nationality, percentage, voting power, and management rights for each owner; separately record every relative’s relationship, citizenship, age, and intended activity.
