✈️ Traveling outside Canada for the holidays?
If you plan to leave Canada and return, you may need a valid Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to re-enter Canada.
✅ If you’re already in Canada with a valid study permit, you do not need a TRV to remain in Canada until your study permit expires. However, if you plan to travel outside Canada, make sure you have the appropriate travel documents before leaving.
👀 Learn more about “Do I need a TRV?” and “How to Apply for a TRV” on our KPU webpage.
