International trade agreements can significantly impact business immigration policies. Which can be summarized as follows:

• Expansion of Immigration Pathways: For instance, the TN visa category was introduced by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was replaced by the United States-Mexico- Canada Agreement (USMCA) in July, 2020. This visa category allowed Canada and Mexico to work in the United States in prearranged business activities for U.S or foreign employees. Similarly, the H-1B1 visa was created under the Chile and Singapore Free Trade Agreements, which allowed citizens of both countries to work in the United States of America under specific terms. Overall, these FTAs facilitate the movement of skilled workers across borders.
• Facilitation of Business Personnel Mobility: in order to streamline temporary entry of business personnel such as investors or treaty traders, transferring employees between countries is made easier by the exemption of numerical limits or labor market tests.
• Restrictions on Future Immigration Policy Adjustments: To illustrate this, some FTAs include provisions to limit the ability for the U.S to unilaterally change immigration laws related to temporary workers.
•  Labor and Economic Market Effect: For example, higher numbers of temporary business visas issued are often correlated with increased trade volumes, which leads us to say that supporting economic activity reflects the need for highly skilled workers.
• Impact on Temporary and Permanent Migration: for instance, some FTAs were meant to limit unwanted migration by improving economic opportunities, such as NAFTA.
