Temporary Resident Permit FAQs
-
01 What is the difference between a TRP and a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)?
A TRV is for individuals who are admissible to Canada. A TRP is for those who are inadmissible but have a compelling reason to enter or stay. -
02 How long is a TRP valid for?
It can be valid for a single day or several years, depending on your circumstances and the officer’s decision. -
03 Can I work or study on a TRP?
Only if your TRP specifically authorizes it or if you apply for and receive a separate work or study permit. -
04 Can a TRP be renewed?
Yes. If your reasons for needing to remain in Canada continue, you may be able to renew before the current TRP expires. -
05 Does a TRP lead to permanent residence?
In some cases, individuals with long-term TRPs may become eligible for permanent residence, but additional steps are required.
