TEMPORARY RESIDENCY

Every year, millions of foreign nationals travel to Canada through temporary residency programs.

These foreign nationals come to Canada for vacation, to study at Canadian schools or to work for a

Canadian employer.

Temporary Resident Visa

Before the onset of Covid-19, Canada set a record with 22.1 MILLION travelers arriving in 2019. With the pandemic under control, the Canadian Government hopes to return to these numbers of arrivals.

For many nationalities, an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is needed to fly to a Canadian airport. For others, the more complex application for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is required.

Study Permit

Canada’s higher level educational institutions are world renowned, not only for the quality of their education but for the ground-breaking research conducted on their campuses. To attend a Canadian university of college, a foreign national needs to obtain a Study Permit from Canadian immigration.

Completing a program at a Canadian educational institution provides not only a respected credential, but an opportunity to apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP is quickly becoming a popular route for obtaining Permanent Residency

The majority of Canada’s industries are experiencing a shortage of workers. To alleviate this shortage the Canadian government has developed a number of pathways to allow foreign national to work for Canadian employers.

International Experience Canada
Free Trade Agreements between Canada and other Countries
The Atlantic Immigration Project
Mobilité Francophone
