Temporary Resident Permit

Temporary Resident

A document issued by citizenship and immigration Canada that allows individuals who are technically excluded from Canada to visit the country is called a temporary resident permit – TRP. A TRP is only given to an idividual if their need to come to Canada outweighs the risk of that individual being in the country.

Apply For A TRP

• The TRP process application relies on which country you belong to. Residents of some counties need an ETA, and some need a visa to enter Canada.
• Applying from a visa required and an ETA required country.
• Candidates should apply for a visitor visa, including some supporting credentials showing why they are admissible.
• IRCC might issue a TRP if your ETA was refused, but its approval might rely on the nature of the application.
• Your own country’s visa office might have its application forms for applying for a TRP.

Understanding Inadmissibility Before TRP Application

An individual could be deemed prohibited for a few reasons:

• Criminal activities like money laundering, smuggling, or driving under the influence of a substance.
• Security causes like terrorism, violence, war crimes, etc.
• Medical issues such as endangering public health and security
• Lack of financial support
• Data misrepresentation
• Non-compliance with any provision of IRPA
• Being related to a family member who is inadmissible.

Things To Note

• Certain candidates might have to undergo a medical examination.
• Criminality and medical problems might prevent a visitor from entering Canada.
• Visitors to Canada should prove their capability to support themselves during their planned temporary stay in Canada.
• Citizens of certain countries might have to provide bio-metric information.
