Canada Sets Business Visitor Conditions Under CPTPP
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued guidance detailing the conditions for foreign nationals wishing to enter Canada as business visitors under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The three core conditions for eligibility include: the source of remuneration must remain outside Canada, the principal place of business must also be outside Canada, and the individual must not intend to enter the Canadian labor market.
Business visitors can engage in activities such as meetings, research, manufacturing, and after-sales services, but must provide supporting documents at the port of entry. Notably, being paid from a Canadian source disqualifies an individual from this category.
The maximum initial stay for CPTPP business visitors is six months, with possible extensions if eligibility conditions are maintained. The business visitor pathway is available to citizens of the 11 CPTPP countries and permanent residents of Australia and New Zealand.
