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 IRCC Web forrn.
Please see our response to your question.
Please note that the Undated temporary public policy for nationals of Iran in Canada as temporary residents (TPP) does not
define whether ‘arrived in Canada’ refers to the foreign national’s original entry date or their last entry date to [requester], this TPP is intended to support Iranian nationals who were in Canada with valid temporary resident status on or
before February 28, 2025 (the date that the previous TP? ended), and who have maintained their temporary resident status.
An individual applying for a work permit, a work permit renewal, or for a study permit under this TPP must be in Canada at
the time of application and when a decision is rendered. However, applicants may leave Canada while their application is
pending, or between applications. 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.
Please note: A foreign national who leaves Canada no longer holds valid temporary resident status and must present
themselves at the port of entry where a decision will be made whether to permit re-entry as a temporary resident. Visa-
required foreign nationals who leave Canada and wish to come back must hold a valid temporary resident visa to be able to
travel back to [requester] details on how to apply, please see : Situation in Iran: Temporary immigration, passport and citizenship measures -
Canada.ca.
Thank you kindly,
[requester]

Hello,
I am an RCIC . I am writing to seek clarification regarding the eligibility
criteria for the special measures for Iranians, as outlined on the following page:
https: //www,. canada, ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/iran html
I would like to confirm the meaning of the term “arrived in Canada” in the context of
these special measures. Does this refer to:
1. 1The original date of entry into Canada (the first time the individual entered
Canada), or
2.2.The most recent entry into Canada (for example, after a temporary trip abroad)?
Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.
Sincere regards,
