Hi Friends,
I stayed in Canada for 2 years 6 months and returned to India on Feb 1st 2010 and my company planning to intiate again for me under LMO to Canada, am I eligible under Intra company transfer for Canada.
Can you please help me on this.
Hi, Are you currently working in a Canadian international company whose subsidiary or affiliate in India ?.. Where you transferred to the company's Indian branch after working 2 yrs and 6 months in Canada ?.
Please note that to consider your service against Intra-company transfer:
"The Canadian company and foreign company must have affiliated, branch, parent or subsidiary relationship and must have substantive business in both locations to support executive or managerial functional personnel.
Intra-Company transfer allows foreign companies, who are already operating in Canada or who plan to start new business operations in Canada, to transfer certain key persons to their Canadian operations.
The transferee must meet the following requirements:-
1 The person to be transferred to Canada must hold a position as an Executive, Manager or Specialist in a qualified company in the member nation.
2 He must be working for the foreign company for a period of at least one year.
3 Managers and senior executives must be working as Managers rather than performing their professional duties.
4 Executive transferee must be performing the duty of managing the company, establishing goals and policies for the company or for its major components or functions and should have wide decision making powers with little senior supervision.
5 Manager transferee must be performing duties to direct the company and/or one of its departments or sub divisions and supervise the work of other supervisory, professional or managerial employees. He should have discretionary power in the management of the company including the power to hire and fire employees.
6 Specialist transferees must have an advanced level of expertise and proprietary knowledge of the company's products, services, research equipments, techniques or management. This type of knowledge should not be available in Canada and his position should be critical to the well being of the enterprise.
7 Transferees do not need to apply for job validation but must apply for employment authorization at the visa office abroad or port of entry if no visitor visa is required.
8 Length of stay granted initially is one year with extension for another two years, thus maximum for a period of three years.
