Currently Canadian citizen living in BC (Young, Married, Bachelors Degree).
Actively looking to buy an existing business in the service sector (closing price $750k-1.2mill)(c-type corp.).
Interested in buying said business in the US (AZ) and relocating.
If this took place i would like to become a dual citizen.

What the best way to go about this (business & immigration)?
Whats required and in what order?

any recommendations/advice from Canadians who own or have purchased US businesses would be appreciated. managing from a distance is not an option...i need to be were the business is. If this process is too difficult I'll be buying in Canada...a immigration lawyer is being sourced for me by my business lawyer in AZ...but I'm looking for some input in the mean time.

Thanks

Falken

Have you looked at the EB-5 visa This would be an investment in an existing businessemploying more than ten people and leads to a green card whereas the E-2 business purchase visa is almost impossible to get a green card from
You can also get a provisional green card from a passive EB-5 investment of $500,000.
DM me if you need any attorney recommendations as this is a specialist field
