Intra-Company Transfer
Introduction
The Intra-Company Transfer Visa enables multinational companies to transfer key employees to their Canadian branches, subsidiaries, or affiliates, thereby enhancing management effectiveness and knowledge transfer.
Eligible applicants must have been employed continuously (via payroll or by contract) in a similar full-time position by the company outside Canada for at least one year within the three-year period immediately preceding the initial application. The Canadian and foreign enterprises must have a qualifying relationship, such as parent, subsidiary, branch, or affiliate, and both must be actively engaged in business. Applicants should be seeking entry in an executive, senior managerial, or specialized knowledge capacity.
This visa category is exempt from the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) requirement, streamlining the process for companies to bolster their Canadian operations with experienced international talent.
