This course delivers a structured, practitioner-focused examination of corporate immigration in Canada, covering the full spectrum of employer-driven work permit pathways, compliance obligations, and legal risk management strategies. Participants will explore the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and International Mobility Program (IMP), including LMIA-based and LMIA-exempt streams, Quebec-specific pathways, and the federal and provincial authorities that govern them. The course addresses real-world corporate challenges such as role design, business visitor misclassification, workforce planning under temporary status constraints, and the immigration implications of mergers and restructuring. With a strong emphasis on compliance, enforcement exposure, and risk mitigation, this course equips immigration lawyers and RCICs to advise corporate clients with confidence in one of Canada’s most regulated and rapidly evolving practice areas.
