To become a Qualified Intra-Company Transferee (QICT), you must meet certain requirements set by the Government of Canada. Here are the general requirements to qualify as a QICT:
- You must have been working for a multinational company outside of Canada for at least one year in the past three years, in a position that is similar to the one you will be working in Canada.
- You must be coming to Canada to work in an executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge role for a Canadian affiliate of the same company.
- Your Canadian employer must have applied for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exemption and received a positive LMIA.
- You must meet the qualifications and experience requirements for the position, including language proficiency in English or French.
- You must also meet the standard admissibility criteria for Canada, such as passing a medical examination and not having a criminal record.
- Your stay in Canada under this category is limited to a period of up to five years depending on the nature of the work and the duration of the work permit.
It’s important to note that these are general requirements and the exact qualifications and application process may vary depending on the type of work, the specific agreement with your country of origin, and other factors. It’s best to check with the Canadian government’s immigration website or consult with a qualified immigration lawyer for more detailed information on the process.
