Intra Company Transfers
Intra Company Transfers
This program allows foreign workers employed with a company overseas to work in Canada if the business has a branch or location in Canada or is in the process of setting this up.
This program is in place to allow for the movement or workers in order to facilitate business operations without the requirement of getting a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
To qualify for an Intra Company transfer, the foreign worker must:
- Have minimum one-year full-time work experience at the foreign company;
- Provide existing proof showing the linkage between the Canadian business and foreign business as well as between themselves;
- Fall into one of three categories: Executives with senior authority and decision making, Senior managers whose principal duties are to manage the business and employees, and workers with specialized knowledge, pertaining to the company’s products, services or possess expertise in a special area.
