About Immigrating Your Business to Canada

Canada is continuously seeking companies, business people, executives or managers, investors, and entrepreneurs who may be interested in moving to Canada and who will make meaningful contributions to Canada’s economy and society. To encourage these groups of people to immigrate to Canada, there are numerous federal business immigration programs that allow businesspeople or self-employed individuals to grow or start a business in Canada or to simply use their experience and resources to help drive the Canadian economy in a positive direction.

Also, each province and territory operates its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) that may allow an applicant with management or entrepreneurial experience to work in Canada while on a potential pathway for permanent residency.

Our expert business immigration lawyers will help you go through the business and corporate immigration processes; from eligibility and the application process and through the entire immigration path to permanent residency. Sobirovs Law Firm will make your immigration burden as simple and easy as possible to allow you to focus on your business growth in Canada. 

Work Permits for Executives

Layer 1

Work Permits for Executives

Travelling to work as an executive? We manage your entry to Canada, including security & medical clearances & legal representation in complex immigration cases. your family members may join you.

Canada has several established programs to provide work permits for various purposes and to various designated groups of foreign workers. While business visitor visas allow executives to visit Canada briefly for business events such as conferences, meetings at a Canadian branch of the business, or similar purposes, executives seeking to work in Canada will require one of these work permits unless or until the executive is a permanent resident of Canada. Sobirovs Law Firm can assist executives in determining which of these programs may be the best fit for their entry and residence in Canada.

For example, the Owner/Operator Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Work Permit allows a foreign national to obtain a work permit for two years in Canada, is available anywhere in Canada, and could become a path to permanent residence in Canada for the business owner or operator. Our skilled team can provide any necessary assistance in applying for and potentially obtaining these work permits, as well as assist in helping executives use these work permits as a path to permanent residence through the Express Entry Program.

Service Canada announced that they are completely revising the Owner-Operator LMIA program, learn more in our article detailing the cancellation and contact us to learn more about your options in Canada.

Another attractive option for executives to obtain a Canadian work permit is through the Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) work permit. This type of permit supports and allows for the transfer of employees or executives from a foreign-based company to its related Canadian company. The Intra-Company Transfer work permit encourages foreign senior-level executives to come to Canada, benefitting the Canadian economy with specialized knowledge and experience. This program also has the added benefit of allowing the executive to be accompanied by a spouse on an open work permit. To be eligible for this work permit, the executive must have worked for the foreign company for at least one year, must have held a senior or managerial position or a specialized knowledge position, and must have been offered a job with a Canadian affiliate, branch, or subsidiary/parent of the foreign company. 

Executive Express Entry  

Traveling-to-Canada (1)

Travelling to Canada on Business

Travel delays can be costly for your business. We can help corporate executives decide the type of visa they need & prepare a suitable visa application, even in an urgent situation.

Canada’s Express Entry program may be especially useful for executives to obtain permanent residence in Canada rather than merely travelling to Canada on business. The Express Entry program is designed to streamline the immigration and permanent residency process for skilled immigrants, such as business owners, executives, and other skilled workers that are able to immediately contribute to the Canadian economy.

The Express Entry program requires four general steps to apply and possibly be able to immigrate to Canada in less than six months. First, you will need to determine your eligibility and whether you meet the minimum requirements for one of the three Express Entry economic immigration programs. To be eligible for Canada’s Express Entry program, an executive would need to qualify for one of the three Express Entry programs:

  • The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • The Canadian Experience Class

If you meet the eligibility criteria for one of these three programs, you will next need to prepare all necessary documents to complete your profile, such as your passport, provincial job application or job offer, or Educational Credential Assessment report. You may also need to submit proof of funds for investment purposes, medical exams, or police certificates. Next, you will submit your profile online to then find out your score based on the program’s metrics. Finally, you may receive an invitation to immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry program, and you will then have 60 days to apply for permanent residence.

While these express programs are not specifically designed for business executives, eligibility under any of the three programs may allow an executive to significantly shorten the wait for entry into Canada and qualification for permanent residence. If eligible, the Canadian Express Entry program could be an optimal solution for executives, business owners, and others who may have experience working in Canada or may qualify as a skilled worker or a member of a skilled trade. Importantly, there is no longer an eligible occupation list for the Federal Skilled Worker Program, which means that if the executive has had at least one year’s work experience in a skilled occupation over the previous 10 years, that executive could be qualified for the Express Entry through the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

Businesspeople & Investors

Business People & Investors

Whether you are investing or new to Canada. we offer custom legal support to serve your business objectives from establishing a new company to achieving your immigration goals.

There are many pathways for businesspeople and investors to enter Canada, with some offering permanent residency while others initially only offer temporary entry that may eventually lead to permanent residency.

For example, Section 205 of the Immigration Regulations governing entry to Canada allows for temporary entry for business people on an intra-corporate transfer basis in order to establish a new branch office or affiliate of a foreign national subsidiary. Business investors may also gain temporary entry to Canada by creating business opportunities that will contribute “significant benefits” to Canada’s economy and employment. While both of these routes only offer temporary entry to Canada for businesspeople and investors, these routes could later become pathways to permanent residence.

My family (5) have chosen Sobirovs for our ICT visa application, and now we confidently recommend them! Right from the start you will be assigned a special team within their firm who will be busy with your plans, needs and documents. The process is organized very efficiently, what is crucial when you run your own business on your side. Once the documents submitted to IRCC, the pre-submission team entrust your case to post-submission group, who monitor the progress and keep you constantly updated what's going on with the case. As a result, our ICT application was approved in just several weeks from submission, just wooow. Thank you and thumbs up for Monique, Mariam, Owen, Madina, and Ms. Feruza who was our lead lawyer.
