Opening a Branch of Your Company

Key Benefits

For business owners looking to open a branch of their company in Canada, CBGA provides full support throughout the process. This includes everything from documentation to operational setup, ensuring a smooth transition for your business. One of the most efficient pathways for this type of relocation is through the Intra-Company Transfer Program, which allows executives or key personnel to obtain a Work Permit and eventually transition to Permanent Residency.

By leveraging this program, you can continue managing your company’s Canadian operations while laying the groundwork for long-term residency. This route also offers significant advantages, such as the 200 additional points in the Express Entry system for executives, fast-tracking the permanent residency process.
  • Work Permit leading to Permanent Residency through the Intra-Company Transfer Program.
  • Open and transparent immigration procedures for you and your family.
  • Access to Canada's free healthcare system from day one.
  • Study Permits for your children, providing access to free education.
  • Your spouse will receive an Open Work Permit, allowing them to work in any Canadian company.

Strategic Business Preparation

As part of the process, we work closely with you to fully prepare your business for the immigration application. This includes demonstrating that you are arriving to manage a significant company with multiple departments and team leads reporting to you. A strategic business development plan will also be created, outlining your expansion over the next two years, showcasing your alignment with the program’s criteria. We handle every aspect of your business plan, from operations to finances, and will represent you in case of inquiries from Canadian immigration authorities, ensuring your application’s success.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Your business must be scalable and capable of growth in Canada.
  • You should have at least $500K in capital to cover initial setup costs, including local hires and taxes.
  • You need to demonstrate C1 English proficiency by the time you apply for Permanent Residency.
  • A higher education background, both for you and your spouse, will be advantageous, along with an age preference of up to 55 years.
