Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)
Inadmissible but need to be in Canada? A TRP can let you enter or stay when the need justifies it.
A Temporary Resident Permit lets someone who is otherwise inadmissible — for a past refusal, criminality or a technical breach — enter or remain in Canada when the need outweighs the risk. It is a discretionary tool that must be argued well.

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) — questions & answers
What is a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)?
A TRP lets someone who is otherwise inadmissible to Canada — because of criminality, a past refusal, or a technical breach — enter or stay when the need to be in Canada outweighs the risk. It is a discretionary permit that must be justified with a strong, well-documented submission.
Can I enter Canada with a DUI or criminal record?
A DUI or other criminal record can make you inadmissible to Canada. Depending on the offence and how long ago it occurred, options include a Temporary Resident Permit for a specific need, or criminal rehabilitation for a permanent solution. A lawyer can advise which applies to you.
What is the difference between a TRP and criminal rehabilitation?
A TRP is a temporary solution that permits entry for a specific period and purpose despite inadmissibility. Criminal rehabilitation is a permanent remedy that removes the inadmissibility once you are eligible. Which is right depends on your urgency and how much time has passed since the offence.
How long does a TRP take to process?
Processing times vary with where and how you apply and the complexity of the inadmissibility. Because a TRP is discretionary, the quality of the justification — showing a compelling need that outweighs the risk — matters more than any standard timeline.
