Temporary Resident Permits

During the application process, you may find that you are barred from entering Canada because of an inadmissibility or a failure to meet Immigration requirements.

Sometimes, you may still qualify for a temporary resident permit.

A TRP may be appropriate for a foreigner who is inadmissible on the ground of criminality, and not yet eligible for rehabilitation. A TRP may be issued if:

  • The offense was minor;
  • There are no more than two convictions;
  • There is no pattern of criminal behaviour;
  • All sentences have been completed; and
  • There is a high probability that you will not commit any further offenses.

A TRP may also be issued for those inadmissible on health grounds if:

  • Treatment is unavailable in the home country;
  • The cost of treatment;
  • How the medical costs will be covered.

A TRP will remain valid until:

  • It is cancelled;
  • The permit holder leave Canada without obtaining prior authorization to re-enter Canada;
  • The period of validity in the permit expires; or
  • A period of three years elapses.
