Temporary Resident Permit

A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is a document that authorizes a person who is inadmissible or does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Regulations either as a temporary resident or as a permanent resident to enter or remain in Canada.

To be eligible for a Temporary Resident Permit, a candidate needs to enter or stay in Canada must outweigh the health or safety risks to Canadian society, as determined by an immigration or a border services officer. There is no guarantee that the candidate be issued a Temporary Resident Permit.

People can be inadmissible to Canada for a number of reasons, and Temporary Resident Permit(TRPs) cover two types of inadmissibility: criminal inadmissibility, and medical inadmissibility. A Temporary Resident Permit(TRP) can be used in situations where the traveler has a valid reason for entering the country, and the benefits of their entry outweigh any risks to Canadian society.

What Are The Reasons For Being Inadmissible?

The most frequent reasons foreign nationals are deemed inadmissible to Canada include:

Possessing a criminal record

Being diagnosed with a contagious disease

Violating the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)

Being deemed a security risk

Misrepresenting information in order to gain entry to Canada, or to maintain immigration status

Being unable to demonstrate that you can financially support yourself and your family during your time in Canada

As a general rule, any act that is an offence in the country in which it is performed, as well as an offence in Canada, has the potential to render an individual criminally inadmissible to Canada.

The following is a rundown of the principal offences for which most travelers may be denied entry. If you have been convicted of any of the offences listed below, the Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) and criminal rehabilitation applications can serve as solutions.

Who Need Temporary Resident Permit To Enter In Canada?

In order to determine whether or not the applicant come from a country which acquires a visitor permit the applicant will need to go to the citizenship and immigration website to determine whether or not his country is classified under this list. If he/she come from a country which is exempt, like the United States of America and many countries in Europe, the applicant will not be required to obtain a visitor permit or temporary permit prior to entering Canada. However, if their country does not appear on the list of exempt countries, like the Ukraine or India for example, they will first be required to obtain this permit prior to entering Canada. If not, they have to obtain this permit prior to the intended travel, they will not be allowed to board the plane to Canada.

How Do I Get A Temporary Resident Permit In Canada?

To apply for a Temporary Resident Permit, the applicant needs to submit an application with supporting documents explaining the reason for your criminal inadmissibility and why their entry into Canada may be justified.

After the applicant have compiled all the required Canadian immigration documents to apply for a TRP, they must then submit it to the Canadian government for consideration.

What Is The Time Period To Stay In Canada With A Temporary Resident Permit?

The Visitor permit or Temporary Resident Permit have an expiry date. This is considered to be the validity of your visitor permit or Temporary Resident Permit.

A Visitor Permit or Temporary Resident Permit can be as long as one year or as short as three days depending on your intended purpose in Canada and the immigration officer running a decision on your matter. In order to comply with rules and regulations of citizenship and immigration Canada all temporary residents are required to exit Canada upon expiring of their visitor permit. If their Visitor permit expired and they are still in Canada with no other status they are considered to be overseen in Canada and can be subject to removal.
