Intra Company Transfer

Discover Canada’s Intra Company Transfer (ICT) Program - a golden opportunity for business owners abroad to grow their enterprise in Canada and pave their way to permanent residency.

Through the ICT scheme, part of the International Mobility Program, you can set up a subsidiary in Canada, secure an ICT work permit, and start your journey towards becoming a permanent resident. Plus, this opportunity extends to your spouse and children under 22 years, allowing you to embark on this exciting new chapter together.

ICTs Program Process

To establish a business operation in Canada, especially for those with specialized knowledge, it's necessary for the company to have a physical location.
There are exceptions, particularly for high-level managers or executives.
In such situations, it's permissible for the company to initially use an alternative address, like that of their legal advisor, until the executive is able to acquire or rent a space for the business.
The company is required to present practical plans for hiring staff for the new venture.

The company should possess the necessary financial resources to start operations in Canada and pay its employees.
Make sure that the work is overseen and led by the management team at the Canadian branch.
When moving a specialist with specific knowledge to Canada, it's essential for the company to show they have ongoing business activities.
