The Americas view treats the hemisphere as three connected sub-regions. North America — the US, Canada and Mexico, integrated through USMCA (replacing NAFTA), with deep cross-border investment flows, supply-chain integration in automotive and electronics, and the most mature skilled-migration ecosystem in the Americas (US H-1B + EB-2/EB-3 + O-1; Canada Express Entry + Provincial Nominee + Atlantic Immigration; Mexico's permanent residency programmes for retirees and remote workers). Central America and Caribbean — a diverse set of small open economies, several of which run growing digital-nomad-visa programmes (Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda Work-from-Bermuda, Dominica's investment-citizenship programme), plus the regional integration vehicles (CARICOM for the Caribbean, SICA for Central America). South America — Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, plus the Mercosur, Andean Community, and Pacific Alliance integration vehicles.
The US is the gravitational centre of the Americas for most of the 100 subjects. The US view per subject documents the major-employer landscape, the credential-recognition pathways for foreign-trained practitioners, the H-1B-and-employment-based-green-card pathway timelines (which vary substantially by subject and country-of-birth due to per-country green-card caps), and the state-by-state licensing regimes for regulated professions. Canada runs the most points-test-friendly migration regime among major Americas destinations, with Express Entry favouring most of the 100 subjects' practitioners. Brazil is the largest Latin American economy and a substantial market in agriculture, mining, energy, financial services and growing fintech, biotech and renewable-energy sectors.
