2) As executive management, you now qualify for an L1-A (They're not cheap, but cheaper than a 250k investment for the E1)
3) Once in the US with the L1, you can start your green card sponsorship process under the EB-1 classification which only has an 8 month backlog.
Good luck.

Well this is the Visa I had past few years, but now I got a GC.
The key thing with L1 is that you need to have your own business in Canada and worked for it for 1 year (there has to be a relationship between Canadian and US Entity).
You cant just start a business with a US partner and move on L1.
