SKILLED MIGRATION PROGRAMS AND PROCESS 2022

The evolution of the world economy or economic
globalization has always invigorated skill
capital to amass in economically advanced or
advancing countries. For decades skilled
migration has been instrumental in propelling
the economic development of many nations. This
vogue has been a catalyst for the development of
some very competitive and discerning immigration
policies in many OECD countries. Every year many
countries based on the critical skills in demand
develop pathways for skilled immigrants. Developed
countries welcome thousands of immigrants with
specific skills every year to live and work.
They offer residency to immigrants to fill the
demand for specific skills. While countries come
up with their own programs and pathways, the
three most popular pathways are Intra company
transfer (ICT) The ICT Visa is a non-immigrant
visa that allows companies operating both in the
receiving country and abroad to transfer certain
classes of employees from its foreign operations
to the receiving country operations for up to 2
to 5 years.

The office in the receiving country could be a
parent company, child company, or sister company
to a foreign company. The employee must have
worked for a subsidiary, parent, affiliate, or
branch office company outside of the receiving
area for at least one year out of the last three
years. The second type of visa is the
Sponsorship Visa, where a local company in the
receiving country sponsors the applicant in the
form of a job offer. This means an applicant will
need to apply for an offered position with a
local company in the receiving country. The
company will offer a job and provide visa
sponsorship to the applicant. The third kind of
Visa is a Permanent Resident (PR) Visa which does
not require the applicant to have a job offer.
On getting the PR Visa the applicant can live and
work in the resident country, without any
restrictions from a sponsoring company.Canada
