Invitation letter for Work Permit

[tkodali123]

Hello,

I am planning on moving to Canada as an intra company transferee. I filled out the Come to Canada wizard, and it said I need to apply for a work permit, and it gave me a list of documents I need to submit. One of them is "Invitation Letter". I am a little confused about this. When I click on More info, this is what I get:

Document: Invitation Letter


You must provide a letter of invitation from the person inviting you to Canada. The letter must be written by the host and should have specific information about the host and invitee.

The letter should state the purpose and length of the visit, the nature of the relationship between you and the host, the contact information of the host, etc.

If you are being invited to conduct business in Canada, a letter of invitation should be printed on the company's letterhead and include:

• the host's full name, title and business contact information
• a brief summary of the reason for the invitation, including details of the business or trade to be undertaken
• the full names of all employees from your company who are being invited by your host
• the intended duration and a detailed itinerary of the visit
• a statement specifying who will be responsible for all travel-related expenses

I am not really being invited by a host, and there is no itinerary as I will be moving there for work. What exactly should I include in this invitation letter? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

This is not a simple permit to get, your employer HR and an probably immigration lawyer should be assisting you.
To get an exemption from LMIA you need to proove that you have specialized knowledge that your employer can not easily attain, the employer needs to provide a lot of documents to prove your case.
