You can come to Canada to live here temporarily, to study, work or visit. You are a citizen of another country but are allowed to be in Canada as a visitor, tourist, student, or worker. To keep your temporary resident status, you must be physically present in Canada.
To be a temporary resident, you must have:
- a study permit.
- a work permit,
- a visitor visa, or
- a visitor record.
A temporary resident has the right to remain in Canada for a limited period.
Temporary residents do not have the same rights as permanent residents. As a temporary resident, you are not allowed to work or live anywhere in Canada, access public services like healthcare, or participate in other aspects of Canadian society except as stated on your permit or visa.
A temporary resident can apply to become a permanent resident of Canada under different streams.
Currently, the Government of Canada is running the temporary resident to permanent resident pathway program. For a limited time, some temporary residents working in Canada are eligible to apply for permanent residency.
