Meet Jonathan Cohen

Jonathan is a dual-jurisdiction attorney licensed in both Québec (2011) and New York (2025), with a practice centered on cross-border immigration law for businesses, investors, and individuals navigating the Canadian and U.S. legal systems.

With over a decade of experience at the intersection of corporate and immigration law, Jonathan brings a uniquely integrated perspective to economic immigration matters. His background in commercial transactions and corporate law, built through years of complex deal work and business litigation, equips him to understand the full strategic picture behind every immigration file: the business structure, the investment thesis, the timeline pressures, and the compliance requirements on both sides of the border.

Jonathan's immigration practice focuses on economic pathways, including intracompany transfers, USMCA business categories, investor and entrepreneur visas, and skilled worker programs in both Canada and the United States. He works closely with multinational corporations, startups, and high-net-worth individuals seeking to establish, grow, or relocate operations across North America, providing end-to-end counsel that spans entity structuring, regulatory compliance, and immigration strategy.

At Cohen Visa, Jonathan's guiding principle is that immigration counsel should be as commercially sophisticated as the clients it serves. He approaches each matter not merely as a visa application but as a business problem requiring creative, legally sound solutions with real strategic impact, and he takes genuine satisfaction in helping clients reach their goals on both sides of the border.

Jonathan's dual licensure places him among a rare group of attorneys capable of advising seamlessly across both Canadian and U.S. immigration frameworks, a decisive advantage for clients operating in both markets.
