Hi Guys,
Posting after a long time.
My client owns a Private Limited company in India (Engaged in fabric and clothing business) and its subsidiary in Ontario (Engaged in the same business). The Ontario company has the same directors and the Indian company holds >50% shareholding in the Ontario company.
Now the directors want to internally send Tailors to the Ontario company. These tailors currently are employees of the Indian company.
How can this be achieved in the cheapest and fastest possible way ?
Thanks a ton guys.
Cheers

Employer needs to apply for and obtain approved LMIAs for the tailors they want to bring to Canada. The tailors will then apply for closed work permits.
The first step is the LMIA. To get the LMIA approved, you will need to advertise the jobs in Canada for at least one month (following the advertising requirements of the LMIA process) in order to prove that no Canadian could be hired for the job. The fee for each LMIA is $1K once you are ready to submit the application. The work permit fees are separate.

Thanks for the quick reply ! That is super helpful.
The Ontario company has just been incorporated (December 2022). Does the Ontario company have to do anything else before applying for the LMIA assessment ? Like waiting for a specified period of time or doing regular business or anything else ?
Plus any other law compliance that is mandatory before the LMIA step is started ?

There are many requirements. You need to dedicate time to researching the LMIA requirements yourself. There is a cap on the number of foreign workers an employer can hire vs. Canadian workers. So if they have no Canadian workers and were just incorporated, then you're not going to be able to hire foreign workers / be approved for LMIAs. Again, you need to spend time researching. If you don't want to do this yourself, hire a lawyer.

Post further questions to the forum.
Post further questions to the forum.
I just read about LMIA exempt work permit.
Can the tailors be called to Canada as intra company transferees if they help further Canadian interests ?
Practically they do benefit Canada and the Canadian economy socially, culturally, or economically as they will help further the business there.
Cheers !
