The Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) program is one of the most effective ways for multinational companies and entrepreneurs to establish or expand operations in Canada while transferring key personnel.

- Which LMIA-exempt code applies to ICT work permits (and why it matters).
- Whether business owners must personally own the overseas company to qualify.
- What financial documentation is needed when setting up a new branch in Canada.
- How long ICT work permits are valid and how extensions work.
- The eligibility criteria you must meet, including work history and role requirements.
- What to expect regarding processing times and how many employees can be transferred.
Whether you’re a business owner looking to expand into Canada or a professional being transferred by your employer, this FAQ provides clarity on the requirements and process.
