My Canadian Company wants to sponsor my fiance! But how?

[ankithkshetty]

Hi,

I am currently in Canada and working for my Canadian employer on work visa. My fiance works for the same company from India. My company wants to sponsor her to come to India but they don't know how to do it. How can I go about this?

Your company wants to sponsor your fiancee to come to India or to come to Canada?

I suppose they could try the inter-company transfer option.

My company is in Canada and my fiancé works remotely from India in my company . Now they want to sponsor her to come to Canada. I’m working with the same company from Canada. I just want to bring fiancé to Canada

Either they try the intra-company transfer work permit route or they apply for an LMIA.

Your fiancee then needs to be eligible.

The company can look at a inter company transfer. She needs to be senior management, executive or have specialized knowledge that no Canadian company employee can do or haven’t been able to hire someone. She needs to have been with the company at least a year.

Doesnt intra company work permit need the company’s branch to be in both Canada and India? My company is only located in Canada

Yes both of the criteria is matched by her. Specialized skill which is hard to hire in Canada and atleast one year

Yes. It is a transfer. So if they don’t have branches overseas, then she is not eligible (link). Your employer needs to look at a LMIA. They need to show that they posted the job and no Canadian or PR could be hired. You can look into Global Strategy Stream but may be harder because she already is an employee working remotely.

The process will probably be long. They need to start posting the job now as there are specifics on how long the job is posted for and number of job sites.
