Company Transfer - advice please
Hi, I need some advice please people.
I am hoping to get an intra-company transfer next year - went out to see the Canadian arm of the company I work for last year and it looks quite likely this will happen. My questions are:
1. Is it correct that I don't need a LMO for intra-company transfer?
2. What and how fast is the whole process?
3. We applied under SW route last Sept with my wife as Principal Applicant - do we need to submit a new one now or can this one be amended?
4. How soon after landing as a temporary worker on average does the PR get fast tracked & processed.
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Correct, you don't need a LMO. However, CIC will want a letter from your employer setting out the role and why an intra-company transfer is the best option. The role has to be fairly senior, and there should be a reasonable prospect that local employment will result in the medium term (don't have the exact wording, but that's the gist of it).
2. the process is pretty quick - mine took about 6 weeks all in (but then my company moves a lot of people around globally on work permits, so the internal processes are pretty slick). You are issued with a work permit at the end of it.
3. can't help with this one - we only started the PR process after we arrived
4. I've heard anything from 6 months to 18 months and beyond. I think it depends on where you are, what you're doing, and where your application is processed. Hopefully somebody with a more definitive answer will be along in a minute!
Hope that helps

Re: Company Transfer - advice please
I can answer some of these, as I came out on an intra-company transfer just over a year ago...
1. Correct, you don't need a LMO. However, CIC will want a letter from your employer setting out the role and why an intra-company transfer is the best option. The role has to be fairly senior, and there should be a reasonable prospect that local employment will result in the medium term (don't have the exact wording, but that's the gist of it).
2. the process is pretty quick - mine took about 6 weeks all in (but then my company moves a lot of people around globally on work permits, so the internal processes are pretty slick). You are issued with a work permit at the end of it.
3. can't help with this one - we only started the PR process after we arrived
4. I've heard anything from 6 months to 18 months and beyond. I think it depends on where you are, what you're doing, and where your application is processed. Hopefully somebody with a more definitive answer will be along in a minute!
