Intra-Company Transfer Work Permit

Intra-Company Transfer Work Permit

The Canadian employing entity is not required to file an LMIA application because this type of work permit is covered by the IMP, but it is required to submit information about the employment offer and pay the employer compliance fee. Employers must sign up for an online employer portal through the IRCC, electronically submit the appropriate data regarding the nature of the employment offer, and pay the $230 compliance fee online.

After payment, these online applications are processed practically immediately, avoiding any waiting periods and enabling the foreign national to apply for the work permit as soon as the online request receives an approval number on the employer portal.
