我在以下的网站看到的信息好像说的是我在美国以外的国家有一年的经验就可以了，不是必须到另一个国家或分公司工作，那么我在加拿大的三年的经验不就可以了吗，还是我理解有误。
由于我是加拿大公民，过了七年还可以续签，还有其他的难点吗，成功的可能有多大。
我是不是可以到美国公司先干起来，如果L1签不下来，就找个人替我管理公司，我仍然在美国生活，没有问题吧。
再次添麻烦了，多谢了。

This visa may be extended if one resides in and commutes from Canada or Mexico to the United States for employment.L-1B visas (specialized knowledge workers) are valid for a total period of five years.

Eligible L-1 Businesses
L-1 visas are available to employees working for companies outside the United States that have BRANCHES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES OR JOINT VENTURE PARNERS in the United States.Each type of business relationship is precisely defined by the INS and legal advice is required to determine whether the business relationship complies with the INS definitionIt is also important to note that the foreign business outside the U.S. must continue to operate during the L-1 transfer to the United States. This means that while the foreign worker is in the United States pursuant to the L-1 visa, the business outside the United States must be ongoing. The foreign business outside the United States should therefore retain at least one employee abroad during the duration of the L-1 visa status.

Getting a Green Card from an L-1A
Persons holding or persons who are eligible for a L-1A visa as an Executive or Manager may qualify for an employment based green card. In addition, you also can apply for a green card without having to undergo the rigorous process of Labor Certification which involves proving that there are no U.S. workers who can fill the position offered by the U.S employer.

L-1 Visas for Canadians
Canadians have the benefit through NAFTA, of applying for L-1 visas at a U.S/Canadian port of entry rather than having to petition to an INS Service Center. This means that the Canadian employee can take all his or her documentation to a U.S. boarder and obtain his visa on the spot!
