Intra-company transferee advice or good representative Toronto urgent please

[under_pressure]

I worked during 7 years for a Distributor of a brand of scientific equipment back in Chile, I'm Field service tech. This brand has the headquarters in the US and a subsidiary in Canada. This is a triangle.
I have a job offer and even I signed a contract to work in this subsidiary in Canada, I want to apply under Intra-Company transferee, the Canada-Chile Free Trade agreement says that rules for intra-company transferees are the same that NAFTA.

So!, I know my case is a bit complex and that's why I'm looking for someone who can advice me with a bit of cold mind and knowledge. If my previous employer is a DISTRIBUTOR, can I apply under this modality?? This is what it said in the Cic page:

"4.1 What requirements apply to intra-company transferees?
- enterprises in the U.S. or Mexico and in Canada have a parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate relationship"

I understand that a Distributor is not a branch, or a subsidiary but it is a Affiliate with a relationship. What do you think???

On the other hand, I can't find a representative that can help me with this, I need someone with real experience on free trades and intra-company transferees:

I already tried:
- Ferreira and Koach: They told me in theory it could be but they don't have enough experience to deal with this... At least they were honest
- Campbell Cohen: They told me that it can't be because the name for the subsidiary in Chile is not the same that in Canada, so they offer me a LMIA... I felt like they just wanted to sell me a LMIA...
- Canada Nordic: Worst experience ever...

What other representative can you advice me, I don't care if they are consultants or lawyers as much as they really know about what we are talking about

Try the Foreign Workers section of the forum. I think there was someone on recently who was dealing with the C-C FT agreement. I would go to that part of the forum and look for their thread.

Yes it was me, but about not exactly the same question... And like most of the information that I could find about transferees is in this section instead of Foreign, I decided to write here if I have a bit of luck...
