Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released significant updates to its guidance for Intra-Company Transferees (ICTs) on October 3, 2024. The changes affect various free trade agreements under the International Mobility Program and clarify critical aspects of ICT eligibility. Notable updates include a refined definition of multinational corporations, specialized knowledge requirements, and eligibility criteria for foreign nationals. IRCC emphasizes that the ICT program should not be used to transfer the general workforce to Canadian affiliates. These modifications aim to streamline the process and ensure proper Global Case Management System documentation.
