Temporary Resident Permits in Canada
A Temporary Resident Permit may be the solution for you if you are unable to enter Canada via a Temporary Resident Visa. If you find yourself considered inadmissible to Canada by the IRCC due to a criminal background, security or medical issues, misrepresenting yourself or a family member, we help with finding the ‘exceptional circumstances’ to make requests, appeals, file for Judicial Review, and present your details clearly and thoroughly to help change your status.
Canadian Temporary Resident Permits to either enter or remain in Canada may be issued by IRCC Officers using their discretion in regards to assessing the credibility of a claim for a Temporary Resident Permit of an inadmissible foreign national. They may decide that your needs are compelling enough and that allowing you entry in into Canada is “justified in the circumstances”. For instance, if your need to enter or remain in Canada is compelling due to your family ties in Canada, and the need for your presence in Canada outweighs any risk to Canadians or Canadian society, then you may be successful. Canada’s social, humanitarian, economic commitments and duty to preserve the health and security of its citizens and permanent residents, are considered. Officers also weigh the risk of you requiring social assistance in Canada, your history, previous removals from Canada, your likelihood of receiving record suspension or experiencing rehabilitation, when assessing ‘exceptional circumstances’ and issuing permits.
Temporary Resident Permits last from one day to up to three years. If your permit period is longer than 6 months, you are allowed to apply for a work and/or study permit. In order to apply for permanent resident status, you will need to stay in Canada for a continuous period which may require multiple applications for TRPs, and proving you qualify for the permit by submitting documents and application fee. Immigration officers may cancel your permit at any time, at their discretion. If you leave Canada, the permit becomes invalid.
Applying for a Temporary Resident Permits in Canada, as with any application, allows no room for error or falsehood, and 123Visa does not assist unworthy candidates who are dishonest in their approach. You may not meet the IRPA requirements and be refused an Electronic Travel Authorization or Permanent or Temporary Resident visas from outside Canada, be denied at a port of entry or be refused to have your application processed, inside Canada, so make sure your application process is impeccable!
Remember, if Immigration Refugee Citizen Canada will not issue you a Temporary Resident Visa, a Super Visa, Study Permit, or Work Permit you may still qualify for Temporary Resident Permits in Canada, and if you do we will do our best to bring about your success.

Business Visitors may remain in Canada for no longer than six months. Longer stays require a work permit. You are not permitted to enter the Canadian labour market while in Canada on a business visa.

The Canadian Super Visa allows parents, grandparents and spouses or common-law partners to make multiple visits to Canada to visit their family members who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. It allows for multiple entries for up to 10 years and for individuals to stay for up to two years at a time in Canada. A 10-year multiple entry visa would only have a status period for each entry of six months. This convenience saves on reapplying each time family members wish to visit their loved ones in Canada. If travelling with a Super Visa you will also have to have an Electronic Travel Authorization.

It is of the utmost importance that every detail is true on any application submitted to Canada Immigration and Citizenship, to avoid government agents discovering an issue that could bring about Revoking Canadian Citizenship in your case. This is one of the main reasons to seek the help of an experienced professional when immigrating to Canada and applying for Citizenship after obtaining your permanent residence status. It is the job of 123Visa to present your application in such a way that you are successful in achieving Canadian Citizenship in the first place, and while doing so, make you understand every rule and regulation applicable to Canadian Citizens so there is no chance of Revoking Canadian Citizenship as far as you or your family members are concerned.
