What is the typical route for Canadians to work in the US tech sector?

  Canadian and Mexican citizens have their own visa classification, the TN, and so this is almost always the first option to look at because it is often very quick and easy (and relatively cheap) to get. Other work visa options for Canadians (and the citizens of most countries) are the E-2, L-1, and O-1.

    I understand there is updates being made to the space export control rules (https://www.space.commerce.gov/new-space-export-control-rules-offer-regulatory-relief/ https://www.space.commerce.gov/new-space-export-control-rule...) regarding space/satellite components that were previously classified as ITAR. I've been curious to know if this will enable Canadians to apply to some space/aerospace technology companies in the US that were restricted to US citizens only?

      We've done a lot of work for satellite and space weather companies and the feeling I've gotten from my clients is that these changes will open up jobs at space/aerospace technology companies for foreign nationals but right now, it's too early to tell.
