Need Versus Risk When Issuing a TRP
inadmissible to Canada
An inadmissible person's need to enter or remain in Canada must be compelling and sufficient enough to overcome the health or safety risks to Canadian society.
Before an officer can issue a TRP, he must consider the factors that make the person's presence in Canada necessary (family ties, job qualifications, economic contribution, attending an event) and the intent of the legislation (protecting public health and the healthcare system).

Before You Enter Canadian Border:
Prior to coming to the border and asking to be allowed entry when you have an inadmissibility issue, it is important that you consider the following:
- a description of the inadmissibility and its equivalent in the Canadian Criminal Code
- a description of the compelling reasons to warrant the issuance of the TRP and how the need outweighs the risk:
- economic contribution
- national interest
- personal reasons
- political visit
- ministerial intervention
- relevant circumstances which should prompt a favorable decision
- duration of the TRP as it corresponds with the purpose of the trip
- a description of the reasons for either granting entry
