Guys I think I might have found myself an opening in the Express Entry requirements, this applied to anyone working in Canada on an Intra Company transfer.
According to CIC
website,
Your employer doesn’t need an LMIA to support your job offer if:
- you have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least 1 year (or an equal amount of part-time work)
- you have a valid job offer, and
- you have a valid work permit that is exempt from an LMIA under:
- an international agreement
- a federal-provincial agreement
- the “Canadian interests” category
so I have been working full-time for my employer for 1 year, so that checks item (1). And I have a valid work permit that is exempt from an LMIA under “Canadian interests” as defined in Canadian interest section on the same page, see below:
workers transferred within a company (intra-company transferees with specialized knowledge) – only those that will benefit Canada with their skills and experience
I was transferred within the company under intra-company transfer LMIA exempted work permit, so that would check item (3).
On Item (2), I have received a job offer from my company at the time of transfer, that was a year and a half, I hope this would check item (2).
Does anyone know if the above is possible or am I being too optimistic? Do you think there’s any risk or anything I have mis-interpreted?
Your input is highly appreciated.
