Temporary Resident Status Programs
Programs that provide support for people who want to enter and/or reside in Canada on a temporary basis. Included are programs operating under the auspices of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada that determine the requirements and steps involved in the acquisition of visas, including student visa and temporary work permits/visas, and those that provide assistance for people who need legal advice about the visa application process. These programs also address the conditions under which foreign nationals can visit Canada (for example, as tourists or to visit family/friends) and the length of time they can visit.
