For any foreign entrepreneur, the best scenario is to continue your business in Canada while getting your permanent residency (PR) status at the same time.
We did just that for our client, who is an executive of a company based in China wanting to expand to Canada. We did a deep dive into the commercial activities of their home branch, and then incorporated a child company so they can extend their reach globally. With our double expertise in business law and business immigration, we successfully helped them applied for intra-company transfer. Now, they have a work permit that may be renewed up to 7 years and a thriving business in Canada. They can easily apply for permanent residency after one year of working in Canada.
