Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced significant modifications to the International Mobility Program (IMP), specifically targeting business owners seeking temporary residence in Canada. The comprehensive update introduces stricter eligibility requirements, including proof of sufficient business funds, and mandates that applicants must control at least 51% of their business. Notable changes include an 18-month cap on work permit validity and new assessment criteria for determining significant benefits to Canada. These revisions aim to streamline the application process while ensuring that temporary business residents make meaningful economic contributions.
