This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by IRCC staff. It is posted on the department’s website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
Applicants who have received a positive Stage 1 assessment may be eligible for interim status pending the finalization of their application, including a study or work permit as follows:
Temporary resident status
Temporary resident status may be extended as long as there is no known inadmissibility. An extension of one year should be sufficient.
When a person has lost temporary resident status, it may be possible to recommend restoration of that status.
