Canada should be one of the strongest destinations for these investors. It has political and economic stability, respected schools and universities, strong institutions, business opportunities and a high quality of life.

Yet Canada is offering fewer routes for them just as it is looking for more investment, new markets and greater economic independence from the United States.

The EB-2 National Interest Waiver can provide qualified professionals with a pathway to U.S. permanent residency without necessarily requiring sponsorship from a U.S. employer.

However, qualifying for an EB-2 NIW requires more than simply meeting the requirements of the EB-2 category.

Applicants must first establish eligibility as an advanced degree professional or an individual of exceptional ability. They must then demonstrate that their proposed project satisfies the requirements for a National Interest Waiver.

In our latest video, Julia Kwasniak, Case Officer at Harvey Law Group, explains how these two stages work and what prospective applicants should consider when preparing a petition.

The video covers:

* The structure of the EB-2 NIW
* Advanced degree and exceptional ability requirements
* The three criteria for a National Interest Waiver
* How the national importance of a proposed endeavour may be demonstrated
* Evidence that can help support an EB-2 NIW petition

Watch the full video to better understand the EB-2 NIW process and the requirements involved.
