Two Ways to Remove Inadmissibility
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) allows persons who are inadmissible to Canada to apply for a temporary resident permit (TRP). If a TRP is granted, then an inadmissible person can enter or stay in Canada temporarily. Canada TRP can be granted only if it is justified in the circumstances, which makes it an exceptional discretionary measure. TRP may be valid from 1 day to 3 years and can be single-entry or multiple-entry.
Temporary resident permit
