Open or scale a Canadian branch, subsidiary, or affiliate and transfer executives, managers, or specialized knowledge staff often LMIA-exempt under the International Mobility Program.

Corporate structuring (relationship proofs: parent/sub/affiliate)

New office ICTs (launch plans, hiring roadmap, premises strategy)
Executive/Manager/Specialized knowledge eligibility & evidence
Payroll, compensation, genuine operations, and renewal readiness
Family accompaniment and later PR via Express Entry/PNP
Ideal for companies with real operations abroad seeking a compliant, faster entry to Canada for key personnel.

Significant Benefit (C11) Entrepreneur / Self-Employed Work Permit

A LMIA-exempt work permit for owners/operators who can show their presence will bring a significant economic, social, or cultural benefit to Canada (e.g., job creation, innovation, community impact).

Benefit narrative (jobs, investment, supply chain, training, regional impact)
Business purchase or startup documentation (LOI/APA, valuations, financing)
Operating plan + 12–24 month hiring and revenue milestones
Proof of experience, credentials, and ability to execute
Strong option when you're actively buying or building a Canadian business with credible benefit to the local economy.

Transition plan (where required), benefits, hours, location compliance
