WHAT IS AN INTRA-COMPANY TRANSFER?

An intra-company transfer (ICT) is a process that allows employees of a multinational corporation to be transferred from one country to another within the same company. This type of transfer typically involves moving employees from their home country to a foreign country where the company has a subsidiary, branch, or office.

One of the prominent nations that offer this plan is Canada. IMP or International Mobility Programme, allows companies to temporarily transfer their highly skilled workers to Canada as an Intra-Company Transferee also known as the ICT Canada.

Any international company that has a branch or location in Canada can apply for their employee to be transferred to the Canadian branch as an ICT.

Know about the Benefits of Intra Company Transfer.

By applying for an intra-company transfer visa, the company as well as the employee does not need to apply for LMIA or LMIA Canada jobs as this transfer is an LMIA-exempt work permit. While the LMIA work process is quite helpful and easy to understand, the ICT allows for work permits for Canada which is exempted from the Labour Market Impact Assessment or LMIA. This allows for a lot of economic benefits to the company, the employee, and Canada itself.
