Hello.
There is our situation: a person is criminally inadmissible to Canada, and not yet eligible for Rehabilitation. We would like him to apply for a Temporary Resident PERMIT in order to come to Canada for a visit. He lives in a country where no visa is required to come to Canada, but, of course, he cannot just show up at the border or he will be turned away. The CIC site tells that A) for person from visa-exempt countries people should go to the local Canadian consulate and ask what procedure they have in place. He went there, and was told to go CIC website and to apply as per instructions there. The CIC site, however, is not very clear. It says to do A) ; "otherwise, submit an application for Temporary Resident VISA". In another place somewhere, where TRP is mentioned, it says that an application for Rehabilitation with a mark "for information only" is required, but there is no list of what else documents are required for TRP.
I found a form for TRP, but it is for when applying from within Canada, as I understand, and he is out of Canada now.
Would you be able to give me some directions as what forms required for applying for TRP for a person living in visa exempt country?
Thank you.
