Temporary Residence (TR)

A temporary resident is a foreign national who is legally authorized to enter Canada for temporary purposes.

You are able to receive temporary resident status when you have been found to meet the requirements to enter and/or remain in Canada as a visitor, student, worker or temporary resident permit holder. You must be physically in Canada to receive temporary resident status.

 Temporary resident applications fall under several categories:

• Temporary resident visas/Visitors
• Super Visas
• International students
• Work Permits

A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also referred to as a visitor visa, is an official document issued by a Canadian visa office that is placed in your passport to show that you have met the requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary resident (either as a visitor, a student, or a worker).

A super visa allows you visit your children or grandchildren for up to 5 years at a time. It’s a visa that allows multiple entries for a period up to 10 years. 

There are specific requirements for a super visa, including the need for medical insurance. You must meet all the criteria to be eligible.

32 Canadian institutions are counted among the best in the world, according to Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings 2022.  This is one of the reasons why Canada is a leading destination for students.

A student visa allows for a number of benefits for you and your family:

• You will receive an open work permit in Canada
• After graduating and having worked in Canada for one year, you are eligible to apply for permanent residence under the Canada Experience Class program
• Your Canadian education will give you opportunities for permanent residence before graduation, through various provincial immigration programs
• Your spouse will receive an open work permit
• Your children are entitled to attend public school
• Your whole family receives government health insurance
