Hi Peter, my startup is a US Corp (Delaware) with a US-based co-founder and US-based employees. I live in Canada and I'm a Canadian citizen and I have zero intention of moving to the US. I'm the CEO. I'm using an EOR (Remote.com) to pay me in Canada.

I believe I can fly into the US for short trips on a smile and wave B1, but I want to be sure I don't need something like an L1. I have easily got a TN1 in the past, but I don't think that works if I'm a major shareholder.

Basically, I'm the CEO of a US corporation that lives permanently outside the US, and I want to cross the border occasionally to meet with the team, do trade shows, board meetings, sales meetings, and then return to Canada shortly thereafter. What permits do I need?

Thank you for your input!
