Temporary Residence
Temporary Status refers to people who wish to come to Canada to visit, work or study. They are coming to Canada for a temporary period and are considered visitors. Visitors require Visitor Visas, unless they are citizens of visa exempt countries.
People wishing to work in Canada temporarily are, in most cases, required to apply for Work Permits. If they wish to study in Canada, then they must apply for a Study permit.
