The Guidelines for Allowing Early Entry – Issuing a Temporary Resident Permit
Situations could arise where a person’s presence in Canada is urgently needed. This is especially so prior to the finalisation of the admission procedures. In this scenario, the officers would need to issue a temporary resident permit. However, officers would need to remember that:
- The urgency of the applicant’s presence would need to relate to the creation or possible loss of jobs for Canadian citizens or permanent residents
- They must only issue permits if they feel satisfied that the individual has both the intent and the ability to comply with all the requirements of the entrepreneur program and as such, is unlikely to be inadmissible
- They should only issue permits for the period required
- In some situations, the officers might find that the applicant has valid reasons for making repeated trips to Canada within the validity of the permit
- Therefore, unless the officers have valid reasons for precluding repeated trips to Canada within the validity of the permit, the permit must indicate ‘authorised to leave and re-enter Canada’
- In some cases, the provincial officers might wish to provide their inputs
- In this scenario, the officers would need to obtain the views of these provincial officers before deciding to issue a permit
- In addition, the officers would need to consult these officials before deciding to renew a permit as well
