No. The purchase must result in a qualifying company relationship, and the beneficiary must meet the foreign-employment and managerial or executive requirements. The business must also fit the applicable new-office or established-office framework.
Evaluate the post-closing facts
Identify which entity will employ the beneficiary and who owns and controls it. Review the operating history instead of assuming that a newly purchased company is a new office. Document the proposed management responsibilities and operational staff.
Commercial value and purchase price do not replace these requirements, so obtain an immigration assessment before relying on the acquisition as a transfer route. Ask for the post-closing findings in writing before signing anything that fixes the structure. Hypothetical example: a buyer intends to acquire a laboratory services company through a newly formed U.S.
holding entity while remaining employed by the Canadian operating business. The first review would identify which entity employs the beneficiary, who owns and controls it after closing, and whether the chain produces a qualifying relationship. It would also flag that the qualifying year of employment abroad must be with a related entity and must fall within the three years preceding the petition.
Review the acquired company operating history rather than assuming an existing business automatically counts as an established office, since the classification affects what must be shown. The purchase itself establishes none of this, and a review conducted after closing can only describe a structure that is no longer adjustable.
