What to understand
Certain executives, senior managers or specialized-knowledge employees may qualify to work for a related Canadian entity under an LMIA-exempt category. Corporate relationships and the worker's prior employment matter.
What to prepare
Document the relationship between entities, the Canadian role and the worker's qualifying experience. Check the current rules for the applicable transfer category.
Important to know
Having a foreign and Canadian company with similar names is not sufficient by itself. The business and role must satisfy the relevant criteria.
