Temporary Resident Permit
A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is a special document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to Canada but have a valid reason to enter the country temporarily.

A TRP is for individuals who are inadmissible to Canada due to reasons such as:

Other immigration violations.
It allows entry into Canada on a temporary basis if the need to enter outweighs the risks of their inadmissibility.
