It is the easiest and fastest way for Iranian business owners and entrepreneurs to obtain a work permit if they can establish a branch of their company in Canada.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">If you own a company in Iran, the Canadian government has introduced this work visa for managers of foreign companies to quickly enter Canada and make a positive economic impact.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Compared to other Canadian work permit methods, the ICT visa has better and simpler conditions. The biggest advantage is no LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) required. This program targets individuals who, by transferring their expertise to Canadian operations, create significant economic benefits for Canada.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Can_Apply_for_Canadas_ICT_Visa\"><\/span>Who Can Apply for Canada&#8217;s ICT Visa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Foreign_Companies_Including_Iranian_Companies\"><\/span>1.
