If you have tried to enter Canada and were refused because of criminal activity, DUI or other serious crime, you may still be admitted into Canada if you are eligible to apply for TRP.

To be eligible for a temporary resident permit, you need to enter or stay in Canada. You must demonstrate that your visit is justified and outweighs the health or safety risks to Canadian society.

This will be determined by an immigration or border services officer.

A permit is usually issued for the length of your visit to Canada—for example, one week to attend a conference. You must leave Canada by the expiry date of the permit, or get a new permit before your current one expires.

Please note that this permit may be cancelled by an officer at any time. The permit is no longer valid once you leave Canada, unless you have specifically been authorized to leave and re-enter.
