Vancouver (April 2007) – Pacific Corridor
Enterprise Council (PACE), in partnership with British Columbia Institute of
Technology, and International Migration Services Ltd. is hosting its annual
Cross Border Forum on Wednesday May 16 at the Vancouver Terminal City Club
(837 West
Hastings Street)
The post 9-11 era has been fraught with
headlines that inevitably talk about reducing or tightening the reigns on
immigration to the United States. This year’s forum, entitled “Back to
Business”, instead, focuses on the immigration opportunities for individuals and
corporations.
Panel topics include the US E1 and E2
Business Visas and the EB-5 Immigrant Investor program which enables foreign
investors to file applications for Green Cards upon making a $500,000 investment
into a qualifying ‘regional center.’ Representatives from HSBC Capital (Canada)
Inc. will also be on hand to provide an overview of the Canadian Immigrant
Investor Program.
Past seminars have included presentations by
some of the preeminent Immigration attorneys in the United States. This year,
organizers are proud to have Lincoln Stone, Editor-in-Chief of ‘Immigration
Options for Investors and Entrepreneurs,’ as the Special Guest Speaker.
In addition, senior officials from the United
States consulate will be in attendance to provide insight into application
procedures and adjudication standards.
Cost, for the half-day event is $100
(including GST) and includes breakfast, and registration materials.
For more information about the forum, or to
register, please contact Judy Rendek at 604 412-7767 or visit our website at:
