Unlocking Canada's Doors with Temporary Resident Permit is a pivotal step for individuals seeking entry into the country despite potential inadmissibility. By granting temporary entry, the Temporary Resident Permit facilitates travel for various purposes, including visiting family, conducting business, or attending important events.

Reasons which need a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP):

There are several reasons why individuals may require a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to enter Canada, despite facing potential inadmissibility. Firstly, individuals may need to visit family members for important life events such as weddings, funerals, or family reunions. In such cases, the need to be present for these significant moments outweighs any concerns related to past criminal convictions or other immigration issues. Secondly, business professionals may require a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to attend conferences, meetings, or other work-related events in Canada. These engagements may be crucial for advancing their careers or establishing business connections, making the temporary entry essential despite past legal issues. Finally, individuals may require medical treatment or consultations in Canada that are not available in their home country. In such cases, obtaining a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is vital to access necessary healthcare services and ensure their well-being.

To submit a strong Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) application, individuals must demonstrate compelling reasons for their visit to Canada and provide evidence of their rehabilitation and intentions. This includes providing detailed explanations of the purpose of their visit, emphasizing the importance of their travel, and addressing any concerns regarding their past criminal convictions or immigration issues. Additionally, applicants should include supporting documentation such as letters of invitation, reference letters, proof of employment or business engagements, and evidence of ongoing rehabilitation efforts. By presenting a comprehensive and well-documented application, individuals can increase their chances of obtaining a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) and gaining temporary entry into Canada for their intended purposes.

Application process for Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

The application process varies depending on whether you are from an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)-required country or a visa-required country. For those from eTA-required countries whose eTA application was rejected, a temporary resident permit may be an option, contingent upon the nature of the inadmissibility and the urgency of travel to Canada. Visa-required individuals must apply for a visitor visa and provide supporting documentation explaining the inadmissibility and justifying the need for entry. An interview with an officer may be required to assess the application.

Temporary resident permits are typically issued for the duration of the intended visit to Canada, such as attending a conference or event for a specific period. Departure from Canada must occur by the permit's expiry date, or a new permit must be obtained before the current one expires. Officers retain the authority to cancel permits at any time, and permits cease to be valid upon departure from Canada unless specific authorization for re-entry has been granted.

A processing fee of CAN$229.77 is required for a temporary resident permit application, with no refunds provided if the permit is refused. Additionally, individuals facing criminal inadmissibility, particularly for offenses like impaired driving, have various options available to overcome their inadmissibility, including the potential issuance of a temporary resident permit.

Family Considerations

In cases where the applicant is considered inadmissible, accompanying family members, including spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children, are similarly affected. The issuance of an initial Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to each family member depends on the officer's judgment regarding the justifiability of their continued presence in Canada. Each family member granted a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) becomes a permit holder in their own right.

Obligations of a Permit Holder Upon receiving a Temporary Resident Permit

Permit holders are expected to adhere to Canadian laws, take necessary steps to resolve their inadmissibility, and either depart Canada or apply for another Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) before the expiry of their initial permit. The nature and severity of the individual's inadmissibility determine whether resolution can be pursued from within Canada or necessitates departure from the country.

Validity of a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is issued for a specific period, denoted by the "Date of Issue" and "Expiry Date" or "Permit in force from" and "Permit in force until date" indicated on the document. The validity of your TRP is determined by the expiry date or the specified permit duration. Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) can be issued to a maximum of 3 years. However, duration of issuance very much depends on your need to enter Canada. The longer the need, the longer the Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).

Temporary Resident Permit Holders

As individuals holding a valid Temporary Resident Permit (TRP), you and your family members are both permit holders and temporary residents of Canada. Despite this temporary resident status, your inadmissibility or non-compliance may render you ineligible for further temporary residence or permanent residency.

The duration of your Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) may impact access to certain services. For instance, permit holders are typically eligible to apply for a work or study permit only if their Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is valid for more than six months.

Inadmissibility or Non-compliance

Inadmissibility refers to factors such as medical conditions, past criminal convictions, financial concerns, misrepresentation in applications, or serious criminal issues that necessitate a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) for entry or continued stay in Canada.

Non-compliance entails failure to meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Regulations, including scenarios such as not undergoing examination upon entry, failing to obtain a temporary resident visa (TRV), allowing a visa to expire before entry, lacking a valid passport, overstaying authorized periods, or engaging in unauthorized work or study.

You can apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) for inadmissibility or non-compliance issues.

Applying for Another Temporary Resident Permit

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) holders desiring continued stay in Canada must apply for permission to do so. Each applicant, including every family member, must complete individual applications and submit them collectively by mail, accompanied by the requisite documentation and applicable fees for each person.

Eligibility for another Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) may be influenced by a variety of factors, including but not limited to the following:

1. Failure to comply with the conditions specified on your Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
2. Overstaying the validity of your status in Canada
3. Re-entering Canada without prior authorization
4. Being deemed inadmissible to Canada for reasons other than those initially addressed by the Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
5. Engaging in unauthorized work or study
6. Presenting an expired passport or one nearing expiration
7. Failure to resolve the situation causing your inadmissibility despite counseling from IRCC
8. Conditions on Temporary Resident Permit Holders

When issuing a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP), an officer may impose, modify, or revoke conditions. Each Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) has a maximum validity of three years and is subject to specific conditions. Typically, as a permit holder, you are expected to:

1. Adhere to the conditions outlined in your Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
2. Refrain from working or studying without the requisite permits
3. Obtain prior authorization before re-entering Canada
4. Depart Canada upon expiration of your authorized stay
5. Assessment Criteria for Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) Applications

A refusal of your TRP application may occur if:

1. Your inadmissibility or non-compliance can be resolved by leaving Canada
2. You have failed to take requisite action to address your situation
3. It's important to note that a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) isn't intended to provide continuous status for extended periods, especially if your inadmissibility or non-compliance can be resolved, allowing for regular temporary residentstatus.

When to Apply for Another TRP

You may apply for another Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) while your current one is still valid, ideally before its expiration date. However, there is no guarantee that your application will be processed before your current Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) expires. Nonetheless, your temporary status remains intact if you've submitted a new application before the expiration of your current Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).

Expired TRP Consequences

Once your Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) expires, you cannot reinstate your temporary resident status as a permit holder. Any failure to adhere to Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) conditions, including unauthorized work or study, may lead to an offense under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, potentially resulting in an admissibility hearing and subsequent removal from Canada.
