Commercial Eligibility

Who qualifies, and what strengthens an application

Who It Is For

  • Continuous qualifying employment abroad for at least one year in the three years before application, subject to applicable agreement-specific rules
  • The foreign and Canadian entities are doing business or will be doing business and have a qualifying corporate relationship
  • Transfer to the Canadian entity in an executive, managerial or specialized-knowledge capacity
  • The Canadian position is genuine and consistent with the enterprise’s size, stage and staffing

What Makes a Stronger Case

  • Executive: directs management, establishes goals and receives only general supervision
  • Senior manager: manages the organization or a major function and supervises managers or professionals
  • Functional manager: manages an essential function at a senior level without primarily performing the function
  • Specialized knowledge: advanced proprietary knowledge plus advanced expertise that is uncommon and critical
