Temporary residence permits

Normally, if you are criminally or medically inadmissible to Canada, you won’t be allowed to enter the country. 

However, if you have a valid reason to travel to Canada that is justified in the circumstances, you may be eligible for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).

A TRP allows people, who under normal circumstances would not be allowed into Canada, come into the country for a limited amount of time for specific purposes.

Valid reasons for entry may include:

- Travel for work (meetings, conferences, speaking engagements etc)

- To visit an unwell family member

- Attendance of a family wedding

To be eligible, your need to enter or stay in Canada must outweigh any risk to Canadians or Canadian society, as determined by an immigration or a border services officer. 

Temporary Resident Permits can be issued for as little as one day or for as long as three years, depending on several factors including a person's reason for entering Canada and the strength of their application. That’s where we come in.
