TRP issuance
If the victim of family violence has existing immigration status through another program, the officer should not issue a TRP until the current status has lapsed, and restoration of status is not possible.
If the officer determines that the foreign national is a victim of family violence, the officer may issue a TRP for a minimum of 6 months, based on the following considerations:
- the foreign national’s ties to Canada
- child custody or any other family law-related issue
- a period of reflection for victims of family violence who are out of status to further consider their immigration options
- the chance for the victim of family violence to escape the influence of their abuser, so they can make an informed decision on a future course of action
- any other purpose the officer may judge relevant to facilitate the protection of vulnerable foreign nationals who are victims of family violence
Depending on the circumstances, and at the officer’s discretion, a subsequent TRP may also be justified, with the above factors taken into consideration, in cases where there may be a benefit to the individual remaining in Canada for a longer period.
Note: Only the initial TRP is fee-exempt.
I am getting confuse on this point. I am eligible for TRP or not?
