A visitor visa (also known as a temporary resident visa) is an official document that foreign nationals need to travel to and enter Canada as a visitor for up to 6 months. Unless you are from a visa-exempt country, you will need a visitor visa to enter Canada whether you are coming to study, work, or visit.

A Temporary Resident Permit, also known as a TRP, is a document allowing inadmissible applicants to visit Canada or continue residing in the country (if already present in Canada). TRP is issued to a person if their need to come to Canada outweighs the risk of being in Canada.

For example, an individual might be granted a TRP for a visit to Canada if the trip is work-related and that person's presence in Canada will be beneficial to the country or its citizens.A temporary resident permit is usually issued for the length of the applicant's intended visit to Canada. For example, 1 week to attend a conference.

In each of these situations, you must meet additional criteria of the program to be eligible. Closed work permit are tied to specific employers, this means that a foreign national issued this type of work permit must remain working with the same employer at the same location (if applicable) unless they change their work permit.
