Whereas "Permanent Residence" (PR) is a requirement for Canadian citizenship, temporary residency has little to do with citizenship, in that one cannot go from temporary resident to citizen without first going through another program. More specifically, the classes of Temporary Resident Documents under IMM1442 are as follows:
- Temporary Student — study permit (also IMM1208),
- Temporary Worker — work permit (also IMM 1102),
- Temporary Visitor — visitor record (also IMM 1097),
- Temporary Resident Permit holder who require the permit to overcome inadmissibility issues
Some foreign nationals require a Temporary Resident Visa (French: visa de résident temporaire) to visit Canada.
