Intra-Company Transfer Program

Expand Your Business into Canada with Top Talent

The Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Program offers multinational companies a streamlined pathway to transfer key employees—executives, managers, or specialists—to their Canadian branches, subsidiaries, or affiliates. With no LMIA requirement and fast processing times, ICT is one of the most efficient ways to expand your business presence in Canada.
