What is a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)?
Answer
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also referred to as a “visitor visa”, is an official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that is placed in your passport.
A valid TRV will show that you met the requirements for entering/re-entering Canada as a student, while the study permit provides you with a legal status to study in Canada.
To cross Canadian borders as a foreigner, you must have a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). These documents will allow you to enter Canada and stay temporarily.
