ICT Work permit eligibility

[vmuraliky]

Hello Experts,

My company wants to file an ICT work permit for Canada.
the eligibility requirements mention "the foreign national has been employed (via payroll or by contract) continuously (full-time, not accumulated part-time) by the enterprise outside Canada, in a similar full-time position, for at least one year within the three-year period immediately preceding the date of initial application;"

Here is my situation.
I had worked in company ABC for more than 7 years.
I quit the company and worked for DEF for 6 months and rejoined ABC 3 months back.

wanted to check if I am eligible for filing ICT work permit considering the break that I got in continuously working for ABC

thanks in advance for your help!

No - you are not eligible. You must work for ABC continuously for at least one full year to meet the ICT criteria. This means you must work another 9 months before you'll qualify.

Thanks scylla for your response
if the prior 3 years is considered, then I have continuous 1 year of full-time employment with ABC. Can this be considered for eligibility or is it that I need to have at least one full year prior to the visa application.

Sorry - you're right. I misunderstood the first part of your post - you should qualify.

Make sure your role is an executive role and/or you have extremely specialized knowledge. Your company needs to prove this in order for the ICT to be approved.
