Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives [requester] note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific
inquiries but have provided the following information as guidance. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you
are encouraged to submit the JRCC Web form.
Please see our response to your question.
The Updated temporary public policy for nationals of Iran in Canada as temporary residents (TPP) is intended to support
Iranian nationals who arrived in Canada on or before February 28, 2025 and who have maintained their valid temporary
resident status. Having said that, the TPP does not stipulate that the foreign national must have continuously remained in
Canada since their arrival on or before February 28, 2025.
If an individual first entered Canada on or before February 28, 2025 and holds valid temporary status, they would still be
eligible to apply from within Canada under the updated policy, regardless of whether they had left Canada and subsequently
re-entered after their original date of entry. An individual applying for a work permit, a work permit renewal, or for a study
permit under this TPP must be in Canada with valid temporary resident status at the time of application and when a decision
is rendered. Continuous physical presence in Canada is not required to maintain eligibility. In addition to any supporting
documents provided by the client with their application, IRCC leverages the Entry/Exit Program with the Canada Border
Services Agency to confirm whether clients meet the eligibility criteria of the public policy.
Officers will review these applications on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the applications meet the conditions of the [requester] details on how to apply, please see : Situation in Iran: Temporary immigration, passport and citizenship measures -
Canada.ca.
Thank you kindly,
[requester]
