Has anyone attempted making the jump from working at a Canadian ad agency to working in the US? Total shot in the dark here posting this. I don't know anything about it and have no American ties. I work in post production in Toronto and want to relocate to NYC. My agency does have an NYC location.

Step one: ask them to relocate

Step two: they either say yes and offer to sponsor you and make it happen (if the us agency has room for you), or they say yes, but you’re responsible for getting a visa. Or they say no.

Step three: if you’re responsible for the visa, it’s gonna cost you some $$ for an immigration lawyer.

Do you manage people? Easiest move is to have them transfer you to US office in a management capacity - makes you eligible for L1-A visa.

I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
