Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

What is TRP?

The Immigration Refugee Protection Act [IRPA 24 (1) ] defines that a foreign national who, in the opinion of an officer, is inadmissible or does not meet the requirements of this Act becomes a temporary esident if an officer is of the opinion that it is justified in the circumstances and issues a temporary resident permit, which may be cancelled at any time.

The Immigration Refugee Protection Act defines the Exception [IRPA 24 (2)] that A foreign national referred to in subsection (1) to whom an officer issues a temporary resident permit outside Canada does ot become a temporary resident until they have been examined upon arrival in Canada.

Who is eligible for a temporary resident permit (TRP)

A temporary resident permit (TRP) may be issued to a foreign national who, in the opinion of an officer, is inadmissible, or who does
not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) [A24(1)].

Who are denied entry to Canada from the TRP perspective

Generally, individuals who do not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), or who are
inadmissible under the IRPA, may be

  • refused a permanent resident visa (PRV) or temporaryresident visa (TRV) abroad
  • refused an electronic travel authorization (eTA)
  • reported inadmissible under section A44(1)
  • allowed to withdraw their application to enter Canada at a port of entry (POE)
  • refused processing within Canada
  • In some cases, however, an officer may issue a TRP to allow a person who is inadmissible, or who does not meet the requirements of the IRPA, to become a temporary resident (that is, to enter or remain in Canada) if it is justified in the
    circumstances.

Who has the authority to issue the TRP

The officers at their discretion issue the TRP allowing the Foreign National to enter Canada while balancing the objectives of the
provisions of the Act to meet Canada’s social, humanitarian and economic commitments, while maintaining the health and security of
Canadians.
The TRP is always issued at the discretion of the delegated authority and may be cancelled at any time. The delegated authority
determines if the individual’s purpose for entering Canada balances Canada’s social, humanitarian and economic commitments to the
health and security of Canadians, per the objectives of the IRPA.
