1) TEMPORARY RESIDENT:

A temporary resident is someone from a foreign country who is authorized to remain in Canada for a limited time period and who will leave the country at the expiration of the temporary status unless that status is extended or a different status is granted. Examples of temporary residents include:
    • A foreign student, i.e. a person whose main reason for being in Canada is to pursue his or her studies and who is authorized to do so.
      Note: some people may hold a study permit without having foreign student status while others are authorized to study in Canada without a permit.

    • A visitor (tourist), i.e. a person who is legally in Canada or applies to enter Canada for a temporary stay. With a few exceptions, a visitor (tourist) is barred from working and studying in Canada.

    • A temporary worker, i.e. a person whose main reason for being in Canada is to work for a particular employer and who is authorized to do so.
      Note: some people may hold a work permit without having temporary worker status while others are authorized to work without a permit.

    • A person holding a temporary stay permit, i.e. someone who does not meet all federal legal requirements and regulations but who is authorized to enter and stay in Canada.

    • A person needing medical treatment offered in a physician’s private office or in a private health care establishment and who has obtained a visa covering the country of origin from the Canadian Visa Office.

2) PERMANENT RESIDENT:

A permanent resident is someone:

  • to whom the federal authorities have granted the right to settle permanently in Canada;
  • who has not yet acquired Canadian citizenship through naturalization;
  • who has not lost his or her permanent residency status.


3) CANADIAN CITIZEN:

A Canadian citizen is someone who:

  • was born in Canada, or;
  • was born in another country from a parent who is a Canadian citizen, or;
  • has acquired Canadian citizenship by naturalization (after three years’ stay in Canada, a permanent resident may request Canadian citizenship), and
  • has not lost his or her Canadian citizenship.


4) PERSON TO WHOM ASYLUM IS GRANTED (usually known as a refugee):

A person to whom asylum is granted may remain in Canada for an indeterminate period of time. That person may be:

  • a refugee as defined by the Geneva Convention – status granted by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB), or;
  • a protected person as defined by the Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, or by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) following an assessment of risk before deportation.
5) PERSON WITHOUT STATUS:

A person who has not been granted a status as described above and:
  • who has requested asylum and is awaiting a decision;
  • whose request for asylum has been rejected, who has exhausted all other recourse and is awaiting deportation;
  • who has applied for permanent residency only after arriving in Canada and is awaiting a reply, or
  • who is in an irregular situation because he or she has entered the country illegally, or who did not leave Canada upon expiry of the status held, or is still without status at the expiry of the deadline set by the CIC.
