- Verify eligibility: To be eligible for an Intra-Company Transfer to Canada, you must have worked for your company for a minimum of one year and be moving to a Canadian branch, subsidiary, or affiliate.
- Determine the appropriate category: There are two categories of Intra-Company Transfers in Canada – executives/managers and specialized knowledge workers. Determine which category you belong to and ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements.
- Apply for a work permit: You will need to apply for a work permit to enter and work in Canada. Your Canadian employer will need to provide a job offer letter and complete certain forms to support your application.
- Collect the necessary documentation: In addition to the job offer letter and supporting forms, you will need to gather other documentation, such as your passport, educational credentials, and proof of work experience.
- Submit your application: Submit your work permit application through the appropriate channels, such as online or by mail. Make sure to include all required documentation.
- Wait for processing: Processing times for Intra-Company Transfer work permits can vary, so be patient and wait for a decision on your application. During this time, you may be required to attend an interview or provide additional information.
- Travel to Canada: Once your work permit is approved, you can travel to Canada and begin working for your Canadian employer. Remember to bring all required documentation with you to show at the border.
Following these steps can help simplify the Intra-Company Transfer process to Canada. Keep in mind that the process may differ based on your individual circumstances, so seeking guidance from a qualified immigration lawyer or consultant is recommended for tailored advice.
