Ottawa provided clarification for temporary residence permit applications

On August 23, 2023, the Government of Canada announced program delivery instructions for temporary residence permits (TRP) made within Canada. 


The update clarifies that the TRP fee exemption under paragraph 298(2)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) does not apply to temporary resident permit applications made within Canada when submitting a work or a study permit application. 


Moreover, the Government updated the one-time fee exemption for TRPs issued to foreign nationals who are inadmissible to Canada on criminality grounds.


Who is eligible for a temporary residence permit? 


A temporary residence permit (TRP) may be awarded to a foreign national who is inadmissible in the view of an officer or who does not meet the conditions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) [A24(1)]. A TRP, or Temporary Resident Permit, is a document granted by Citizenship and Immigration Canada that allows people who are logically inadmissible to Canada to visit the country. A TRP is granted to a person only if the need for that person to travel to Canada outweighs the risk of that person being in the country. 


TRPs are always issued at the discretion of the delegated authority and are subject to cancellation at any time. The delegated authority determines whether the individual's purpose for entering Canada balances Canada's social, humanitarian, and economic duties to Canadians' health and security, and complies with the IRPA's objectives.


An officer may also consider the following:


  • The foreign national's need to enter or remain in Canada is compelling.

  • whether the foreign national's presence in Canada is necessary and outweighs any risk to Canadians or Canadian society.


Who is not eligible for a temporary residence permit? 


If all of the following conditions are met, a failed refugee claimant may not request a TRP:


  • It has been less than a year since their claim for refugee status with the Refugee status Division (RPD) was rejected, withdrawn after substantive evidence was heard, or abandoned.

  • There has been no appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD).

  • There has been no application for leave (or judicial review of that application) to the Federal Court.

Canada may recruit DACA recipients

  Canada may recruit DACA recipients  Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that protects and provides work authorization to immigrants brought to the US as children. Over 570,000 Dreamers are currently protected by DACA and are productive members of the American economy.  However, the program is in legal limbo as Congress has failed to authorize permanent protection, and Republican states are suing to terminate it.  Canada is actively recruiting immigrants with US work experience or education and could also attract DACA recipients, highly educated and qualified workers.  Canada's Express Entry system could be a viable option for Dreamers, who would be competitive candidates. If Canada poaches Dreamers, the US will face significant economic losses as Canada reaps the benefits of highly productive US-trained immigrants. Canada has stepped up its efforts in recent months to deliberately recruit immigrants with prior education or work experienc...

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers From January 1, 2024, employers recruiting through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) must adjust foreign workers' wages to match updated prevailing rates, as per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Although some employers are exempt, this usually requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The Job Bank updates provincial wage differences annually.  Canada is inviting foreign workers to boost its economy amid labor shortages, with potential losses of $38 billion due to shortages, as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) reported. Foreign workers in Canada are legally entitled to the same rights as Canadians, with employers required to ensure a fair work environment and access to healthcare. Even if the prevailing wage falls, the updated wage can never fall below the wage identified in the positive LMIA at any time during a TFW's employment period. Emplo...
