Business Immigration

Business Immigration

Canada welcomes businessmen and women from all over the world, especially business immigrants who have a solid background in business, sufficient financial assets to establish themselves, and a demonstrated enthusiasm for engaging in business after landing in Canada.

Business Visitor Visas

Every year, thousands of international business people come to Canada to do business with Canadian companies. As a business visitor you do not require a work permit. At Akrami and Associates, we have many years of experience bringing business visitors to Canada.

Work Permits

Eligible foreign workers who wish to work temporarily in Canada can apply for a temporary work permit.

Intra-Company Transfers

Canada allows for the transfer of certain employees to freely transfer to the Canadian branch, subsidiary or affiliate of an international company, without obtaining a Labour Market Opinion (LMO).

Labour Market Opinion

Many jobs in Canada first require a Positive Labour Market Opinion.

NAFTA Work Permits

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) allows qualified American and Mexican professionals to work in Canada without possibly needing to obtain a Labour Market Opinion.

Open Spousal Work Permits

There are many ways where a foreign national can obtain a work permit for their spouse. A spouse of a foreign national can work temporarily in Canada.

Post-Graduate Work Permits

If you want to work in Canada after you graduate, you must apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP). If you want to stay in Canada as a permanent resident after you graduate, there are a number of programs available, each with its own requirements.
