Temporary Resident Permit
A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) may be issued to a foreign national to overcome inadmissibility issues such as security, criminal or medical reasons or if they do not meet requirements of the Immigration Refugee and Protection Act. TRP’s are issued by a delegated authority and may be cancelled at any time.
Program eligibility
To qualify for a TRP, the foreign national must first prove that there are compelling reasons why their entry is essential and their presence in Canada outweigh any risk to the Canadian Public. The application will be assessed based on the following criteria:
Note: A foreign national that applied for refugee protection and was either rejected or determined to be withdrawn or abandoned within the last 12 months is not eligible for TRP. If an applicant was found to be inadmissible based on serious criminality, security reasons or terrorism; a TRP will not be issued or considered.
