A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly referred to as a Temporary Visa, is an official document issued by the Government of Canada that allows foreign nationals to enter and stay in Canada for a limited period. It is typically placed inside the traveler’s passport and confirms that the individual has met the requirements to visit Canada temporarily.

Temporary Visas are designed for individuals who wish to come to Canada for specific short-term purposes, such as tourism, visiting family, conducting business, pursuing studies, or working temporarily. Unlike permanent residency, a Temporary Visa does not grant long-term settlement rights in Canada but provides an opportunity to legally visit and experience the country within the approved duration.
