What is a TRV?

A TRV is a Temporary Resident Visa which is also known as a visitor’s visa. A Temporary Resident Visa is a permit that allows you to enter and stay in Canada for a certain period of time. It is what you would apply for if you are visiting Canada. In other words, you are only entering for a temporary period of time.

The Temporary Resident Visa can be cancelled by an officer at any time and once you leave Canada, the permit is no longer valid unless you have been allowed to leave and re-enter. There are different kinds of TRV’s, some allow you to re-enter Canada and others only allow single entry into Canada.
