About This Course

Canada's business immigration landscape shifted significantly in 2026, with policy updates affecting the Start-Up Visa Programme, Intra-Company Transfers, and the expanding list of LMIA-exempt work permit categories. This one-hour on-demand course delivers a concise, practitioner-focused briefing on every change that affects your business immigration practice.

Working through real client profiles, we examine how the updated SUV processing targets impact application strategy, when the C-12 LMIA exemption applies to expanding Canadian operations, and how IRCC's new owner-operator guidance changes the advice you give to entrepreneurial clients.

Watch at your own pace and apply 1 CPD credit hour toward your CICC annual requirement.
