What is Intra Company Transfer?
ICT is an immigration pathway under the International Mobility Program that allows qualified foreign business owners to transfer their businesses to Canada and acquire a work permit. Through the ICT pathway, you will be able to secure an ICT Work Permit and eventually permanent residence (PR). In most cases, the principal applicant’s spouse and children will gain an open work permit and study permit, respectively.

Why Choose Raffles Educity
Unbeatable Expertise
What is the basic information one needs to know before applying for a visa? One has to be clear on which category one needs to apply for when it comes to visa applications in any country. In addition, one needs to know how much duration they plan to stay and how will they support themselves during that stay. These are the basic questions to be put in place. Henceforth, the process becomes easier.
Global Presence
Is the process of visa application time-consuming? If one submits documents without any complications and authentic documents the process takes less time. If there is any name or address mismatch the process takes time. To rectify it, some additional documents might be needed as well. All this depends on which country and category you wish to apply for.
Comprehensive Services
My application was declined due to poor advice. Can I reapply quickly? If not, when can I do it next? It depends on at what stage your application was declined. If no misrepresentation exists, then the new visa can be applied and the process can be done quickly.

How to Apply for Intra Company Transfer Work Permit?
As a business immigrant, you have a wide selection of possible investor visa pathways. Depending on your business goals, some immigration schemes may suit you better. It is important to compare and see whether a federal or provincial program would be the best for you, your business, and your family.
Intra-Company Transfer (ICT)
The ICT program is ideal for foreign companies with a Canadian office or a subsidiary or looking to expand their operations in Canada. This business immigration program allows you to transfer employees from your foreign office to your Canadian office. These employees would be issued a temporary work permit and would generally be eligible for permanent residency after 1 year of employment in Canada.
Start-Up Visa Program (SUV)
Under Canada’s Start-Up Visa program, up to 5 founding partners of an innovative foreign company could be eligible for an open work permit for up to 3 years. Additionally, the applicants can also become eligible for permanent residency in Canada. The SUV program requires a Letter of Support or investment commitment from one of the Designated Organizations in Canada.
Entrepreneur Visa (C11)
The C11 Entrepreneur Stream is perfect for foreign entrepreneurs who want to invest in an existing Canadian business or start a new one. First, the entrepreneur would receive a temporary work permit which would allow them to operate their business in Canada. Then, after 1 year of operating the business in Canada, you will become eligible for permanent residency.
LMIA Work Permit Program
Entrepreneurs and investors can receive a work permit through the LMIA pathway and eventually permanent residency after 2 years of employment in Canada. However, this program is tailored more toward hiring foreign workers. Other above-mentioned programs are usually preferred over this one for investor immigration to Canada.
ICT Work Permit Duration
Every one of the above programs has its own eligibility requirements and application process, but most share some common elements:
- Operate a successful business or have enough funds to buy or start one in Canada;
- Have at least $250,000 that you can invest in your Canadian business;
- Possess necessary skills for business development and business management
