Hello,
ootist
We have a question regarding Ukrainian nationals who were issued TRPs under CUAET upon entry to Canada for not having a
valid passport.
Ukrainian nationals who did not have valid travel passports and travelled to Canada with single joumey travel documents with
visas were issued Temporary resident permits and Work /Stady permits.
After the arrival they obtained the passports from the Embassy of [requester] many of the applicants face issued with
renewing their status as after they apply for the extension of their work permits under Ukrainian measures for Ukrainian nationals
who arrived in Canada before March 31, 2024 and have valid CUAET status, the work permit applications with valid passports
but previously issued TRPS are withdrawn by the officers with the following instructions:
“No action is being taken to process your request. You have submitted your application online, You must submit an application
for a Temporary Resident Permit in paper form.
We cannot take any action in your case until such time as you re-apply by submitting a new application by mail along with the
following items:
[X] An application for a Temporary Resident Permit, and a Work Permit
[X] Two recent passport size photographs of yourself, and;
[X] $239.75 for the TRP fee, and $255 for the Work Permit fees”
We would like to confirm that TRP holders in such circumstances must apply for subsequent TRPs in paper even
though they have valid passports and no compliance /admissibility issues but were issued TRP upon entry.
Do the applicants continue to be inadmissible after getting a valid passport because upon they did not have a
passport, and they were issued TRPs?
We would also like to point out that if this aligns with the guidelines IRCC officers follow for Ukrainian nationals applying for an
extension, there are no clear instructions for such applicants on the website. This lack of information creates confusion and leads
to unecessary expenses, as fees are not reimbursed afier withdrawals, Additionally, while regular TRP with Open Work Permit
applications are exempt from the open work permit holder fee, it appears that Ukrainian nationals are subject to a special regime
requiring them to pay this fee in this situation.
Thank you
