(Canadian Immigration and Employment Law)
Applications for permanent residence under the business immigration program often entail processing delays that exceed the expectations and objectives of applicants. Accordingly, alternative solutions promoting early entry, may be available by way of temporary admissions to Canada though the investment immigration route.
Canada admits business immigrants on a temporary basis under the temporary foreign worker program. Qualified applicants include successful business persons who qualify for work permits under investment immigration vehicles supported by applicable International Agreements or that would create or maintain significant economic benefits or opportunities for Canadian citizens or permanent residents. The issuance of a work permit on the basis of investment would depend on the nationality of the applicant and the nature and location of the business in Canada.
Depending on the particular circumstances, applicants may undertake dual assessments of an application for permanent residence and an application for a work permit.
In some cases, it may be practical for an applicant to secure a work permit on behalf of a Canadian business set up as a branch office of an established entity outside Canada, which a good track record. Once the work permit is issued the applicant can then submit an application for permanent residence under a suitable category.
Interested readers are invited to contact Colin R. Singer, Attorney by Toll Free telephone (1-888-817-2011) or by email – csinger@immigration.ca to discuss any issue related to the foregoing.
