Canadian wanting to teach weekend workshops in US

[cando 0]

I am a Canadian citizen, with no visa to work in the US. I teach two day workshops for massage therapists, physiotherapists and chiropractors in Canada, and want to expand my business to the United States.

Does anyone know where I would begin, what type of visa I might apply for?

I say partner up with a school, they 'handle' your TN-1 visa,

and you go forth.

Thank you for this suggestion. I would do that if i could, but my workshops are two days and I teach in once city and then move onto another. And this isn't something that is going to change, as it's integral to how the market works and how I manage my work and teaching schedule, and how my whole model is set up. I'm hoping there is another way...

OK - shift a bit, partner up with a company, instead.

OP, you won't be able to legally do what you're suggesting. You'd need to be working for a US company that would look after a visa for you.

Thanks both for your help. OK, so I'm thinking of a friend who might be able to hire me, which could be a perfect solution.
