Hello,

I tried a search, but didn't find an answer. We are a global company with divisions in Europe, US and Canada. There is a specialized employee of the US division that I need to work part-time with my Engineers on a project for the next year or two. This will involve frequent trips to Canada (one work week a month), but the Employee will remain living in the US and employed by the US division.

I've been given conflicting reports regarding the need for a work permit in this application. Unfortunately the legal division of the company is Europe based and in North America we are technical groups, so I don't have an answer yet.

Thanks for your help!

The information supplied suggests that a work permit will be needed. The provisions of intra-company transfer may apply, depending on the role and the qualifications of the candidate, which could exempt the requirement of a LMO approval. Realistically, however, more details of the situation are needed to make an accurate evaluation of the need for a Canadian work permit and the eligibility for such.
