Intra Company Transfer visa

I work for a global bank and could transfer to Toronto under ‘specialised skills’. Is it hard to prove specialised skills when getting the visa?

Your company will have to convince IRCC that you qualify under the specialized skills category. I'm not sure I would say it's hard - but your company definitely has to prove it and we certainly see plenty of refusals here where IRCC has not been convinced.

Thanks for the reply. I work for a bank, the job is NOC category B in financial services. While paying the average toronto salary, the bank uses systems thats are 25 years old. The creator has retired long ago so internal recruitment is a key drive of the business to retain the systems knowledge. Typically it would take 8 weeks training and one year to be competent in the role, 2 years to be expert...plus its regulated with the banks own compliance, fraud and money laundering proceedures. I would not expect the pool of candidates to be big due to this and the fact the systems (all three of them) are unique to our bank only, so the candidates would have to have worked here before.
They also seem to be in a constant state of recruitment on their website for this job, which may show an inability to find sufficient labour in the market.
Is this a good argument in your view? Or are they looking for the most crazy niche roles.
