Introduction to This Page

The Law Office of Joseph C. Grasmick, Business Immigration is pleased to host the U.S. Trade Center on this Web site. This page contains the Center's comprehensive directory of professionals in many disciplines. The Trade Center selects these professionals based on their ability to assist Canadians exporting to, or doing business with, the United States. It is the most comprehensive directory on the topic available anywhere. We include this information on our site, since it should be of use to our readers: Canadian companies sending employees to the U.S., and U.S. companies hiring Canadians.

If you contact people on this list, kindly let them know you heard about them from "Grasmick's Web Site and the U.S. Trade Directory."

Also review Joseph Grasmick's Rolodex®---a similar directory of Canada-U.S. resources. Sites that Cite our Site could also have the reference you are looking for. Follow the links at the home page for information about Canada to U.S. business immigration.

We also invite you to read our explanation of why most Canada/U.S. business expertise is in Southern Ontario and Western New York.
