A temporary resident visa (TRV) is an official document issued by a visa office that is placed in a person’s passport to show that they have met the requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary resident.
If you are a citizen of a country that needs a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), you will have obtained this when you first arrived. Although it is not mandatory to have a valid TRV while you are studying in Canada, it is advisable to keep your TRV valid in case you are required to leave the country or go back to your home country unexpectedly.
If you are already in Canada with a valid study permit, you may apply for an extension or a new Temporary Resident Visa in Canada.
For steps and instructions, view the Applying for a Temporary Resident Visa Online in Canada.pdf guide.
You should apply at least 3 months before your planned departure from Canada.
If your Study Permit is expiring soon, please renew your Study Permit first, and then apply for a Temporary Resident Visa extension.
If your Temporary Resident Visa expires, you will not be allowed to re-enter to Canada without a valid Temporary Resident Visa even though you have a valid Study Permit.
