Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

If you are considered inadmissible to Canada (criminality, medical, non‑compliance, or other grounds), a TRP may allow you to enter or remain in Canada when your purpose is justified and the need outweighs the risk.

When is a TRP Appropriate?

  • Inadmissibility due to past criminality or medical reasons
  • Administrative or compliance issues that would otherwise bar entry
  • Compelling reasons to travel: family, business, studies, or urgent work

How We Help

  • Eligibility review and risk assessment
  • Detailed submission letters with supporting evidence
  • Coordination with port of entry or visa office procedures
  • Planning for long‑term solutions (e.g., rehabilitation)

FAQ

What is a TRP?

A Temporary Resident Permit allows an inadmissible person to enter or remain in Canada when the need outweighs the risk. It is discretionary and can be issued for a specific period with conditions.

How long is a TRP valid?

Validity depends on the reason and officer discretion. It can be issued for days up to years and may be extended. We plan renewals and long‑term solutions such as rehabilitation where available.

Can I apply at the border?

In some cases, TRPs are issued at a Port of Entry; in others, they are processed by a visa office. We advise the most appropriate channel for your circumstances.
