• Canada's immigration system is a dual intent system, which allows foreign nationals to enter Canada as workers, students, or visitors, while also seeking permanent resident status based on skilled work, business, or family ties.
• Business Visas are generally valid for six months, but Temporary Residence Visas (TRVs) must be obtained from a Canadian consulate and may be issued for a longer period in certain circumstances. Visa-exempt nationals are required to obtain electronic travel authorization (eTA).
• The main work authorization type is the Intracompany Transfer Work Permit. The validity of this visa depends on the foreign national's position and is granted at the discretion of the immigration officer. There is no labour market testing requirement for this category. Dependent family members can accompany a foreign national under this category including unmarried same- or opposite-sex partners if they have been cohabitating for at least one year before the application filing date.
Detailed Immigration Snapshots, Document Lists and Process Guides are available to clients on request.
