Understanding Canada Temporary Resident Visas (TRV)
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is a document that allows you to enter and stay in Canada for a specific period, usually up to six months. There are two types of TRVs: single-entry and multiple-entry. A single-entry TRV allows you to enter Canada once within the validity period of your visa. A multiple-entry TRV allows you to enter and leave Canada multiple times within the validity period of your visa.
Common reasons for applying for a TRV include:
- To visit family and friends
- To attend a conference or business meeting
- To study at a Canadian institution
- To work temporarily in Canada
Common Reasons for Rejections
The most frequent reasons why TRV applications get rejected include:
- Not meeting the eligibility requirements
- Failing to provide complete and accurate information
- Having a criminal record
- Being a security risk
- Not having sufficient ties to your home country and intent to return
According to the Canadian government, the overall refusal rate for TRV applications in 2022 was 12.5%. However, the refusal rate varied depending on the applicant’s country of citizenship. For example, the refusal rate for applicants from Mexico was 25.2%, while the refusal rate for applicants from the United Kingdom was 2.3%.

- You must be a citizen of a country that is eligible for a TRV.
