Factors Considered For A TRP Application

Factors considered during the application process for a TRP

When reviewing a TRP application, Canadian border officials have to ascertain that the presence of an otherwise inadmissible individual poses no security or safety threats to Canadian society. Thus, prior to applying for a TRP, a number of factors are important to consider. For instance, an individual inadmissibility depends on the following:

• number of the offenses committed
• when the sentence for the offense was completed
• the severity and type of the offense committed

Although you can apply for a TRP immediately after completing your sentence, the rate of success increases if more time has passed since then. Serious convictions that resulted in bodily harm or that involved the use of weapon, for instance, are more likely to bring additional challenges in your application process.
