Immigration Law Service

Application for Temporary Residence

Temporary residence applications require proof of purpose, funds, ties, travel history, admissibility, and a plan to leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay. Sawan Law House LLP helps clients prepare organized visitor, TRV, and super visa applications.

Temporary residence applications are often about trust and documentation. IRCC must be satisfied that the applicant meets the requirements, is admissible, has a genuine temporary purpose, and will leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay.

Sawan Law House LLP helps clients prepare visitor visa, temporary resident visa, super visa, visitor record, extension, and refusal-response applications. We focus on the purpose of travel, financial proof, family and employment ties, host documents, prior immigration history, and any concerns that need explanation.

Temporary applications can be refused when the evidence is thin, inconsistent, or unclear. A careful application should make it easy for the officer to understand why the person is coming, who is supporting the visit, and why the stay is temporary.

Common Questions

Temporary residence questions clients often ask.

Does a visitor visa decide how long I can stay in Canada?

Not exactly. A visitor visa lets a person travel to Canada before the visa expires. The authorized length of stay is decided when the person enters Canada, unless a different document or date applies.

How is a super visa different from a visitor visa?

A super visa is for eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents and can allow longer stays than a regular visitor visa, if the requirements are met.

Can I reapply after a visitor visa refusal?

Often yes, but it is important to review the refusal reasons first. A new application should address the concerns with stronger evidence or a clearer explanation.
