Transition to Permanent Resident
One of the best things about moving to Canada is that if a person follows specific steps and meets the criteria, they may be able to apply for their permanent status. So then, if you work through the ICT program in Canada for at least one year, you may qualify for PR. As you may know, work experience is one of the most valuable factors under the CRS point system. Consequently, work experience gained as an intra-company transferee in Canada will add at least 50 extra points to your profile for the immigration system. Furthermore, spouses, common-law partners and children can accompany the main applicant and be able to attend public school for free or to receive an open work permit. Besides these many benefits, another vital factor that makes the ICT work permit more appealing is the LMIA exemption. After all, it is a quicker, simpler and cost-effective pathway to work in Canada and qualify for PR.FAQs About ICT Work Permit
