Canadians (not PR) could apply for a US work visa if they have an occupation under
the new NAFTA list of occupations. One of those occupations is a management consultant. Now, the trick
with management consultants is that it’s a very tough category to qualify
for because it’s one of the few occupations under the NAFTA list that do
not require a university degree.
However, that doesn’t mean that if you go to the border and you present
your papers explaining that you’re a management consultant that you will
get approved. Quite to the contrary, it’s very difficult to get approved as
a management consultant. One of the reasons is that there’s a misconception
about what a management consultant is.
