No other agency has taken more talent working in television news in Canada and successfully placed them in the United States. The attorney/agents at WTA are intimately knowledgeable of the immigration laws, and what needs to be filed in order to promptly obtain an H-1B or O-1 Visa. We work very closely with our outside immigration counsel, as well as the attorneys for the networks and local stations to assure that the process runs smoothly and without delay. Below are some successful deals we have put together:

MONITA RAJPAL, whom we moved from reporter at CITY-TV in Toronto to London-based anchor for CNN International.

CHRIS GAILUS, whom Gregg Willinger discovered in Calgary and moved him to WFAA in Dallas, then to WNYW, the Fox O&O in New York City, as co-host of “Good Day New York.”

TOM NEGOVAN, whom we also found in Calgary and moved to anchor positions at KYW in Philadelphia, then to WGN, the Tribune-owned superstation in Chicago.

BARBARA LEE EDWARDS, who we moved from noon anchor in Winnipeg to KFMB in San Diego, where she anchors the 5 & 11 p.m. weeknight shows.

NATALIE PUJO, whom we discovered anchoring weekends at CITY-TV in Toronto before we moved her to main anchor at KMGH in Denver, then to anchor/reporter positions at KCOP and KCBS in Los Angeles

ANNE MARIE GREEN was also reporting at CITY-TV, and is now an anchor/reporter at KYW, the CBS O&O in Philadelphia.

CYNDI EDWARDS, was working in Ottawa when WTA found her a job as co-host of "Your Mornings on CN8," a regional cable network morning show. Cyndi is currently the host of the popular, daily talk/entertainment show “Daytime” at WFLA in Tampa.
