No E2 does not lead to GC and offspring will be on its own at 21. If qualified you play Diversity Lottery, get married to a US citizen or go the E5 route.
How is your Spanish?

Thanks for the reply. Are 5 year E-2's still offered anymore or are they all 2 years from now on?
The EB-5 is interesting, but getting 500k to invest, yet alone hiring 10 employees within 2 years would be really tough. We've been fairly efficient in terms of staffing at our Canada location. 13k Sq Ft of retail / warehouse, 2.5mil+ in annual sales, and we still don't have 10 full time employees. Maybe 13 employees total but that's including part timers.
Canadians aren't eligible for the green card lottery, but if I do move to the states, there is a chance I'll get married to someone from the area, so that could be a possibility.
I don't speak any Spanish.
