Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

Overcome Inadmissibility. Enter Canada Legally.

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) Services by Cougar Immigration

Have you been told you’re inadmissible to Canada due to a past offense, medical condition, or misrepresentation—but still have a valid reason to visit? You may qualify for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) that allows you to enter or stay in Canada despite the inadmissibility.

At Cougar Immigration, we help you build a compelling TRP application, highlighting your purpose, mitigating risk factors, and improving your chances of approval from Canadian immigration authorities.

 

What is a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)?

A TRP is a discretionary permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to individuals who are:

• Inadmissible to Canada (criminality, health, security, misrepresentation, etc.)
• But have a valid and compelling reason to enter or remain temporarily

TRPs allow entry for a specific purpose and time frame, even when legal grounds for denial exist.

 

Who Can Apply for a TRP?

You may be eligible for a TRP if you:

• Have been convicted of a criminal offence (DUI, theft, assault, etc.)
• Are medically inadmissible
• Have violated immigration rules in Canada or another country
• Have been previously removed or refused entry
• Are still within the inadmissibility period (e.g., 5 years after a DUI)
• Can demonstrate that your reason for travel outweighs the risk to Canadian society

Valid reasons may include business travel, family visits, conferences, academic events, funerals, or urgent personal matters.

 

How Cougar Immigration Helps

Applying for a TRP requires a well-prepared application that anticipates IRCC’s concerns. We provide:

• Inadmissibility Assessment – We review your case and identify the specific legal grounds
• Eligibility Review – We determine if you meet IRCC’s discretionary thresholds
• Document Strategy – We help gather criminal records, court documents, medical files, and background checks
• Purpose of Travel Narrative – We craft a compelling case for your visit, supported by documentation
• Letter of Explanation (LOE) – We write a professional cover letter to support your TRP application
• Submission to IRCC or Port of Entry (POE) – We guide you through both options, depending on urgency

 

TRP vs Criminal Rehabilitation: What’s the Difference?

• TRP is a temporary solution for inadmissibility—granted for 1 day to 3 years
• Criminal Rehabilitation is a permanent fix—for offenses committed outside Canada over 5 years ago
  Cougar Immigration can help you choose the right path—or apply for both when applicable.

Final pricing depends on complexity, number of offenses, and urgency.
