In addition to the study permit, citizens of certain countries also need to obtain a temporary resident visa to be able to enter Canada or to come back after a stay abroad. Consult the list of nationalities that need a temporary resident visa.
If during your studies, you plan on leaving Canada, make sure that your temporary resident visa is valid for several entries (multiple-entry visa).
Note: This visa is only issued outside of Canada.
If you are applying for a temporary resident visa (TRV) as you are in Canada with a valid study or work permit, you can send your request of TRV by mail to the CIC office in Ottawa with the following documents:
