Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
What is a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)?
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is an official document issued by the Canadian government that allows foreign nationals to enter or re-enter Canada. While your study or work permit authorizes you to study or work within the country, a TRV is essential for travel purposes. It ensures you can return to Canada seamlessly after international travel.
Difference Between a Visa and Status: A visa, such as a TRV, is a travel document that allows you to enter or re-enter Canada. In contrast, status defines your legal authorization to stay and carry out activities (e.g., study or work) in Canada. While a visa lets you cross borders, your status determines what you can do and how long you can remain in the country.
Who Needs a TRV?
- Study or work permit holders from visa-required countries who plan to leave and return to Canada.
- Individuals traveling internationally during their stay in Canada.
Note: If you are from a visa-exempt country, you may require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for air travel instead of a TRV.
Eligibility for a TRV
To apply for a TRV from within Canada, you must:
- Hold a valid study or work permit.
- Have a valid passport or travel document.
- Be physically present in Canada at the time of application.
- Demonstrate financial capacity to support your stay in Canada.
Upon approval, the TRV is issued as a sticker in your passport, granting you the ability to travel and re-enter Canada.
