Any advice is welcomed.
I work for a large bank with operations in both the US and Canada. For the past 1.5 years i have worked in their American headquarters. My husband was offered a job in Canada and he accepted the position as a skilled worker in July. When he accepted the position I was on maternity leave and moved with him to Canada while on leave. I was granted an open work permit as the spouse of a skilled worker at the time of entry knowing that I would continue to work for the bank in Canada. However, I was not sure what that job looked like at the time. Since moving to Canada, I have returned from maternity and my company has offered to transfer my position full-time to Canada as a functional manager. My job transfer position meets the qualifications for senior management. Again. I currently have an open work permit valid through March 2018 that would allow me to accept the position and work until my open work permit expires. However, my new position is 3 years and the intra-company transfer visa would guarantee me the ability to stay in Canada for the entire length of the position without being dependent on my husband's job.
I have a few specific questions:
1) I will be applying at a POE as we are currently in Canada. What specific documentation do I need, and does being in Canada currently disqualify me?
2) If for some reason my visa application for intra-company transferee is denied will it affect my valid open work permit as the spouse of a skilled worker?
3) Other than providing me with proof of job offer and job detail description/responsibilities, is my company required to do anything? Remember I am applying from a POE and can get access to any required documentation.
Thank you for your advice!
