Event Objectives:

Although the focus of this course will be on the rational how foreign nationals can lose their temporary resident status in Canada, and how to mitigate that loss, it is important to have an overview, at the first place, of the definition of foreign nationals - as it is stipulated in the IRPA s. 2(1); who is considered as a temporary resident, whose intent to remain in Canada is temporary in nature and must leave Canada by the end of their authorized period to stay, unless they submit an application to change condition or extend their stay. Hence, detailed analyses of the ways how temporary residents can obtain, maintain, extend, lose, and restore their temporary resident status will be provided. Furthermore, the focus will be on the requirements for a temporary resident visa (TRV) as they are defined under section 179 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR); different types of a TRV in the context of Canada’s revised visa policy for multiple-entry visa and its validity (shifting away from automatically issuing 10-year multiple-entry visas, so – as of November 6, 2024 – visa officers now have the discretion to issue either single-entry or multiple-entry visas based on the applicant's specific circumstances and travel purpose, it means that a 10-year multiple-entry visa is no longer guaranteed, even for those who previously qualified); single-entry visa and who can re-enter Canada even on a single-entry visa in accordance with s. 190(3)(f) of the IRPR; distinction between visa-required and visa-exempt countries based on several grounds; transit visa; super visa and its enhancements from July 4, 2022 that increased length of stay for parents and grandparents from 2 to 5 years with possibility of an extension of 2 years; the implications of temporary resident permit (TRP); visitors record; ending of the RCIC Temporary Public Policy as of August 28, 2024, which prevents temporary residents to apply for work permit from within Canada; dual intent as per IRPA s. A22(2); request to the IRCC for reconsideration of a negative decision, etc.. Since an appeal to the IAD of the IRB is not available to temporary residents, an application for leave for judicial review is one of possible legal remedies for a negative decision as well as humanitarian and compassionate considerations, and pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) - which might be offered by the CBSA officer to temporary residents under a removal order yet the final decision on the PRRA is in the hands of the IRCC.
