Other firms advertise cross border service, but dual licensing means we can pursue better results faster. Sometimes all it takes is a short consultation to get your visa on the best path to approval. Whether it's working temporarily or visiting as a tourist, throw U.S. law into the mix and any problem you encounter as a Canadian instantly doubles in complexity.

Services
Border Solutions Law Group is a boutique firm that practices exclusively in cross-border issues in Vancouver, BC. Over the years, we have handled thousands of U.S. visa filings and cross-border personal injury claims. We're also one of the few firms licensed to practice in both Vancouver and Washington.
At Border Solutions Law Group, the benefits we bring to the table have won us many clients for life. Cross border legal issues are complex, but our job is to simplify them for you and work to gain you real results. Here's how we do it and why you can entrust your case to us. Some lawyers claim to handle immigration and cross-border personal injury cases, but do so only on the side.
At Border Solutions Law Group, our team has successfully handled thousands of U.S. immigration cases for individual and corporate clients in Vancouver. After years of practice, our legal team has developed a streamlined, user-friendly system aimed at getting you across the border as smoothly, efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
At first glance, the B visa seems straightforward - a temporary, nonimmigrant visa that lets visitors enter the U.S. for business purposes and then leave once that business is finished. In reality, B visas are the most used, but least understood. At Border Solutions Law Group, we can help you navigate the grey areas and reduce the risk of complications.
The E-1 treaty trader and E-2 treaty investor visas have great appeal. They have advantages that many of our clients at Borders Solutions don't realize at first. E visas are also obtainable without some of the cumbersome requirements of other work visas such as the L- visas. E visas allow entry to nationals of countries that have trade relationships with the U.S. - including Canada.

I was a paid client. Felt Nathan and his team didn't care about my needs. I had to heavily edit documents they sent me because what they sent me had unbelievable typos and mistakes.
For example a letter suppose to be written from me was signed off with the name of a DIFFERENT client. Wow!
Descriptions of myself included errors like "currently a student" when clearly I graduated years ago. Maybe a new intern or someone copy pasted or maybe it's standard procedure for the client to fix up small mistakes but these felt significant and took lots of time.
Didn't end up getting the result I wanted

I thought the process of getting my visa was going to be a nightmare but it wasn't! Mark and his team helped me every step of the way and I felt very supported. From the start Mark has been amazing, always professional, calm and very well educated and he never left me in a place of not knowing the next steps towards getting approved! I can’t say thank you enough!! I am very happy I have the opportunity to team up with Mark and Border Solutions to create business plans for anyone going through the same visa process I did. Based off my experience with Border Solutions its great to help others get

I own a consulting company that requires travel for conferences/ professional development/clients meetings/networking activities.
I am very lucky to have found Mark. A few years ago when I was still an employee, I was traveling for work and mixed up the requirements of different types of work visas. I have had lots of trouble traveling to the United States since then. Not only did Mark helped me lifting the ban, the ban is now completely reversed so I do not ever have to apply for a waiver again. I recommended Mark to all the companies I managed whenever I see a need for cross border consultation

We have been working with Mark Belanger and Border Solutions Law Group for a few years. Incredibly professional, and knowledgeable. They have supported us on some vitally important immigration matters. They are very clear and transparent which gave us a lot of confidence in the process. We would not work with anyone else.

I hired Border Solutions in 2016 based on a previous trial firm refferal in Vancouver. I was in an accident on the I5 in Washington state and Border Solutions was able to deal with the intricacies of Canadian/American legalities, navigating both laws.
When i initially met Mark the connection was immediate, it was like we had known each other for years. Mark is very easy to get along with, super down to earth and open minded. He listens with intention and is fair. The vibe amongst his office staff is relaxed yet Professional.
Since my case closed in 2019 i have been able to reach out to Mark a

Can’t thank Mark and Jackie enough. From the consultation till the end, Mark reassured me that we had a strong case for a TN Visa and he delivered. 3 other lawyers said no but Mark said yes. Jackie was super responsive and made changes on the fly. I will certainly be using them again.

Working with Mark and the team, they bring a calming relief to the stressful process of gaining work visa status in the USA. They proactively assessed my US work visa situations and made great suggestions ease my worries.
I highly recommend them for any cross border work visa applications.

We needed to get a B Visa as a matter of urgency; unfortunately in the pandemic this was extremely difficult and the delay could have been seven or eight months - with the help of Mark and Jackie we were able to get the visa in short order. Border Law did a fantastic job.
