TRP - no maintained status?

[DUIInsideCanada]

I have a multi-entry TRP due to DUI making me inadmissible. Its still valid.

I know TRP holders can apply for a subsequent TRP from within Canada, however TRP holders are not eligible for maintained status.

So what does this mean for me if i want to stay in Canada? I apply for the subsequent TRP from within Canada before mine expires, can i remain until a decision is made? Or do i have to leave when the TRP expires? I was under the impression that as long as i applied for another TRP before this one expires i could stay, but the Canada.ca website states that : TRP holders do not benefit from maintained status.

So now im confused. Can i stay or no?

did you find answer? Maybe you can set appointment with an RCIC or Immigration Lawyer.. so not to risk your TRP

There is no maintained/implied status with a TRP application. A person can remain in Canada but they do not have valid status under these circumstances.

The OP didn't mention if he has WP or none with his TRP and how many years was given to him. So he can't work if ever he has WP with it if both expires and no status. How long should a TRP "extension" or another application take place as the applicant already has been approved for a previous TRP, given that he maintains good behaviour. Does anyone know?

File it at least one month before expiry date, you do not need to exit while subsequent TRP is processing.

If ever OP has WP with this TRP, does he have to stop working if second TRP has no decision yet and 1st TRP may be expired?

Mine has an open wp with it, extension approved I didn't have to stop work. Must comply with all conditions attached to it, must not become inadmissible for any other reasons while in Canada.

OP has inadmissibility TRP as what Ive known. So when you applied for extension, did your approval came before expiration of first TRP?I am asking questions also for my information as I am currently applying for TRP. thank you for your reply

No it didn't come in before the expiry, you're allowed to stay while it's in process even after old one expired.

i see.. how long did the renewal took you? how many years was granted again?

It was transferred from Edmonton office to Vancouver office, took over one year to process at Vancouver office. What are you inadmissible for? If you don't mind me asking. If you stay continuously for 3 years on subsequent trps you can apply for residence under the permit holder class, I'm eligible for it.

thank you for your reply. my inadmissibility is same as the OP. no other records, one time thing. no injuries or what, just those random checks las covid time. went home ahead as I have work the ff day. i hope mine will work out.. been regretting it so so much!

Hope it works out for you, you don't need to leave while extension is in progress, as long as you apply before expiry date of the old one.
