The Intra-Company Transfer program enables multi-national companies with a presence in Canada to transfer staff to their Canadian location. The staff being transferred must be executives, senior managers or employees with specialized knowledge of the company’s products or services:

Executives – occupy the highest levels of a company’s management structure, and are integral to the organization’s international leadership. Executives establish the goals and priorities of the organization and receive only general supervision from higher level executives.

Senior Managers – manage the organization or a large function of the organization. They supervise the work of other supervisory or managerial employees and exercise discretion over day-to-day operations.

Specialized Knowledge Workers – possess skills, expertise, and company knowledge that is integral to the functioning of an organization. Applicants must demonstrate special knowledge of the Canadian enterprise’s product, equipment, service or management or an advanced level of knowledge in the organization’s processes and procedures.
