What to understand
A temporary resident permit can sometimes allow entry or stay for a justified temporary purpose despite inadmissibility. It is discretionary and distinct from a regular visitor visa or work permit.
What to prepare
Explain the purpose and urgency of travel, disclose the admissibility issue and provide complete supporting records. Review the official TRP instructions.
Important to know
A TRP does not erase inadmissibility and approval is not guaranteed. Do not travel assuming it will be issued at the border.
Check the official requirements
