The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (AFM) has been recognized by both United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (U.S.C.I.S) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (C.I.C) as an authorized petitioner for temporary work permits on behalf of AFM member musicians.
Canadian members who wish to work in the United States may be eligible for a 'Class P2' non-immigrant work permit, and United States members who wish to work in Canada may be eligible for an ‘IMM-1102’ Permit.
Initiated by AFM, and in accordance with both U.S.C.I.S and C.I.C rules and regulations, both categories are subject to a RECIPROCAL EXCHANGE AGREEMENT between international entities. For this purpose an agreement between AFM Canada representing Canadian members, and AFM U.S.A. representing U.S. members has been acknowledged and accepted by U.S.C.I.S and C.I.C, which gives AFM recognition as an authorized representative for AFM member musicians in both countries, and which allows for the exchange of artists between said countries.
