Your Path to Business Expansion and Immigration

If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or key employee looking to expand your operations or skills to the Great White North, you’re in the right place. Our team of dedicated immigration experts is here to guide you through every step of the ICT journey.

Understanding ICT Canada:

The Intra Company Transfer (ICT) program is a unique immigration pathway that falls under Canada’s International Mobility Program. It offers qualified foreign individuals and businesses the opportunity to transfer their operations or expertise to Canada, ultimately leading to the acquisition of a work permit and, in many cases, permanent residency.

Who Can Apply for ICT Canada?

The ICT program caters to three primary categories of individuals:

- - Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, and Shareholders: If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or shareholder of a successful company holding an executive position, and you intend to perform similar work in Canada, you may be eligible for the ICT program.
  - Senior Managers and Functional Managers: This category is designed for individuals currently working in a foreign company in senior or functional managerial roles who plan to occupy similar positions in Canada.
  - Key Employees with Specialized Knowledge: If you possess advanced specialized knowledge that is unique or uncommon within the business context, you may qualify under this category.

ICT Canada Requirements:

To secure a work permit under the ICT program, certain requirements must be met:

- - Your home company must have been operational for at least 12 months (ideally, 3 years) before expanding to Canada.
  - The home company should be financially sound to support its operations in Canada.
  - Applicants must have worked with the home company for at least 12 months in the past three years before applying for immigration.
  - The home company must be related to the Canadian company as a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate.
  - Canadian operations must be a viable enterprise that results in job creation for Canadians.

Investment Amount for Business Expansion in Canada:

While there is no minimum investment amount set by the Canadian government, companies expanding to Canada should demonstrate financial stability. This often includes showing solid gross sales exceeding $250,000 per year and access to liquid funds of at least $100,000 to cover the first year’s operational costs.

Transition to Permanent Residency:

After one year of full-time employment in Canada, you may become eligible to apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry program. Depending on your employment role, you may receive additional points for an arranged employment offer from your Canadian business.
