What is a Temporary Resident Visa?

Inspiration We Answered

A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that is required for certain foreign nationals who wish to enter Canada. It is also known as a visitor visa or the entry visa.

In order to be eligible for a TRV, applicants must meet certain criteria. These include having a valid passport, being in good health, having no criminal record, and having enough money to support themselves during their stay in Canada.

The TRV is valid for a specific period of time, usually up to six months. It is important to note that the TRV does not guarantee entry into Canada. The visa holder must still meet all the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR).

The TRV is not a work permit and does not allow the holder to work in Canada. However, some visa holders may be eligible to apply for a work permit while in Canada. Also, the TRV is not a study permit and does not allow the holder to study in Canada. However, some visa holders may be eligible to apply for a study permit while in Canada.

It is important to note that the TRV is not a permanent residence visa and does not allow the holder to stay in Canada indefinitely. The visa holder must leave Canada before the expiry date of the visa.
