Temporary Resident Permit

Applying for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) in Canada involves overcoming inadmissibility based on grounds such as criminality, health issues, or non-compliance. If you find yourself in this situation, you have two options for applying for a TRP: through a Canadian Consulate or at a Canadian Port of Entry.
The recommended method is to apply at a Canadian Consulate near your location. This involves submitting an application and the necessary supporting documents, after which you would await approval before making plans to travel to Canada.

In cases of urgency where time is limited, applying at a Canadian Port of Entry is an alternative. This method is typically used during emergencies when there isn’t sufficient time to apply through a Consulate and wait for their approval.

Regardless of the application method, you will need to complete a Temporary Resident Visa form, specifying the grounds of your previous denial (i.e., the inadmissibility issue) and providing immediate reasons for your need to enter Canada. Examples of valid reasons can include business purposes or attending a family emergency, such as a funeral.

To increase your chances of obtaining a TRP, you must demonstrate that, despite your inadmissibility, you pose a low risk and that your reasons for visiting Canada are legitimate and significant. It is essential to show that you intend to leave the country at the end of your authorized stay. Additionally, a non-refundable processing fee of $200 must be paid.

Have you faced a recent denial of immigration to Canada? Are you dealing with grounds of inadmissibility, such as DUI or DWI charges? If you have a compelling reason to visit Canada, you might be wondering how to proceed. In this article, we will explore the process of obtaining a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) in Canada, providing up-to-date information about inadmissibility and the steps involved.

Inadmissibility to Canada can be categorized into various reasons, including security concerns, criminal convictions (such as DUI or DWI offences), health-related issues, and misrepresentation on your application. If you have been found inadmissible based on any of these grounds, it is not the end of the road. There is still a possibility of entering Canada with a Temporary Resident Permit.

If you have faced a denial for entry into Canada and believe you have a valid reason to visit, a Temporary Resident Permit might be a viable solution. By understanding the grounds of inadmissibility and following the proper application procedures, you can present a strong case. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Akrami & Associates for professional assistance. Book a consultation today to discuss your options and increase your chances of obtaining a Temporary Resident Permit.

To acquire a Temporary Resident Permit, you must present compelling reasons that outweigh any potential risks to Canada and its citizens. The application process may vary depending on whether you are from a visa-exempt country or not.

If you are from a visa-exempt country, you will need to follow specific procedures based on the visa office handling applications from your region. It is crucial to submit a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) application, including supporting documents that explain the grounds of your denial and why you should be granted entry into Canada.

Obtaining a Temporary Resident Permit is not guaranteed, and the application process can be complex. To improve your chances and ensure a well-prepared application, it is advisable to seek assistance from experienced legal professionals such as Akrami & Associates. With their guidance, you can receive valuable legal advice and support throughout the process.

If you have been deemed inadmissible to Canada and previously denied entry, there are still options for you to enter the country if your reasons are justified. This applies even if you have criminal records, present health or security risks, or have other admissibility concerns.

There are two methods to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP):

Canada generally encourages individuals to apply from their home country. If you have sufficient time to wait for the approval, this is the recommended approach. However, keep in mind that processing times can vary depending on the number of applications and the urgency of your case. It may take up to a year for your application to be processed.

If you have an immediate need to enter Canada for justified reasons, you can apply for a TRP at a Port of Entry. If your application is successful, you will be granted entry immediately. However, it’s important to consider the expenses involved in travelling to a Canadian border only to be potentially denied entry.

Yes, a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) can have an expiry date. The duration of a TRP can range from one day to a maximum of three years, depending on the discretion of the immigration officers reviewing the application. Several factors are considered when determining the length of time for which a TRP should be granted. These factors include:

Any history of violating the conditions of a previous TRP or visa application may impact the decision regarding the length of a new TRP.

It’s important to note that the decision on the duration of a TRP rests with the immigration officers, and they have the authority to grant a TRP for a specific period that aligns with the individual’s circumstances and the purpose of their visit to Canada.

A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) provides a temporary solution for addressing inadmissibility issues. However, if you wish to address your inadmissibility on a permanent basis, you may need to apply for criminal rehabilitation.

To be eligible for criminal rehabilitation, a period of five years must have passed since the completion of your sentence, which includes probation, fines, jail time, etc.

However, depending on the nature of the offence, you may need to wait for a period of 10 years, or you may be considered deemed rehabilitated. Deemed rehabilitation applies when 10 years have passed since the completion of your sentence, and you have no other summary or indictable convictions in Canada within the last 10 years. Additionally, you should not have more than one summary conviction within the last 10 years.
It is important to understand that a TRP provides temporary relief from inadmissibility, while criminal rehabilitation offers a permanent resolution to address your inadmissibility concerns.

For more specific and up-to-date information regarding your individual circumstances and the best course of action, it is recommended to consult with a qualified immigration professional or legal representative who can guide you through the process.

If your application for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) was refused due to inadmissibility issues, you will need to apply for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to overcome these concerns.

The TRP application needs to be submitted at the consulate level, and the processing time for a decision can range from 3 to 12 months. Once you receive a positive decision on your TRP application, you can then proceed to apply for an eTA or TRV, also known as a visitor visa.

However, if you possess a valid nonimmigrant visa (such as a US visa) or have an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), you have the option to travel to a Canadian border entry point. There, you can request a same-day decision on your admissibility at the port of entry, avoiding the waiting period of 3 to 12 months associated with consulate decisions.

It is important to note that the specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on your individual circumstances and the nature of your inadmissibility issues. Seeking guidance from a qualified immigration professional or legal representative is recommended to ensure you follow the correct process and increase your chances of a successful outcome.
