Diplomats and Foreign Representatives

Through our international experience, gained by working for and with the Canadian government, Cross Border Management consultants have forged lasting business relationships with many foreign government representatives. It is natural for people who have worked together to build a level of trust that may last throughout professional careers, even when representatives are on opposite sides of the negotiating table.
Foreign diplomats in Canada and abroad thinking of retirement or of a change in career can and do apply for permanent resident status; however, there are policies and procedures unique to this group. There are many exceptions and exemptions that may apply to cases of foreign diplomats and foreign government representatives.
If you are a professional contemplating leaving an employer, you desires discretion until an alternative is secured. Foreign diplomats and foreign representatives have the same need, and few want to quit their foreign post without first obtaining assurances of permanent residence.
The same rules of eligibility apply to diplomats and to foreign representative as those that apply to other professionals, but there are special considerations that pertain solely to this group. Find out where you stand, contact Cross Border Management today.
