The Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is an exceptional measure that allows individuals who would otherwise be considered inadmissible to enter Canada for a specific period. This permit acknowledges the unique circumstances of applicants and provides a pathway for them to visit, work, or study in Canada temporarily.
Eligibility Criteria
- Exceptional Circumstances: Applicants must demonstrate compelling and exceptional circumstances that warrant their entry into Canada despite being inadmissible.
- Purpose of Visit: The purpose of the visit must align with the exceptional circumstances presented in the application.
- Length of Stay: TRPs are typically issued for a specified period, reflecting the nature of the exceptional circumstances.
Application Process
- Eligibility Assessment: Immigration lawyers assess the applicant's unique circumstances to determine whether they qualify for a TRP.
- Document Preparation: Lawyers assist applicants in gathering and organizing the necessary documentation that supports their claim of exceptional circumstances.
- Application Submission: Lawyers complete the TRP application forms accurately and prepare a compelling written submission that outlines the exceptional circumstances and their impact.
- Supporting Evidence: Lawyers ensure that all supporting evidence, such as medical records, legal arguments, and other relevant documents, are included in the application.
- Addressing Inadmissibility: Immigration lawyers craft legal arguments that address the reasons for the applicant's inadmissibility and explain why granting a TRP is in Canada's best interest.
- Advocacy: Lawyers advocate on behalf of their clients, presenting a well-structured case to immigration authorities and addressing any concerns that may arise during the processing of the application.
