I'm a citizen/resident of a North African country, working as an independent contractor for a software company in Canada. I get paid directly to my bank account in my country.
I make enough for the D7 visa (about twice the minimum), but my income is classified as freelance income, thus requiring a D8 visa instead, which my income isn't enough for the D8 minimum.
  • If I form an LLC in any country, recieve my compenstation to that LLC instead of myself directly, and pay myself dividends from that LLC, will that qualify me for the D7 visa?
  • What about an LLC + Trust?
  • Which country would be best for a setup like this?
