Hi everyone,

I am filling the citizenship application for my wife. She was holding an open work permit before having her PR. In the Physical Presence Calculator, should I select "Temporary Resident Permit Holder" or "Temporary Worker" for this period?

Thanks!

I went with the "Temporary Worker" when I filled mine.

what does that mean? does it work for when we extend our visa for staying more than 6 mounts in Canada?
A TRP is a document that authorizes a person who is inadmissible or does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Regulations either as a temporary resident or as a permanent resident to enter or remain in Canada.

A work or study permit, or a Temporary Resident visa is not a Temporary Resident Permit. These documents are clearly marked as visas or work and study permits. You are not a temporary resident permit holder unless you are inadmissible and you have been issued a document specifically identified as a Temporary Resident Permit. TRPs are only issued in exceptional circumstance and at the discretion of the processing officer. A TRP may be cancelled at any time.

no, entirely unrelated, it's for resolving some inadmissibility problems: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/permits.html

what you're talking about might be visitor record (?): https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/visitor-record.html

be very careful when you take in work permit days , ircc will use all their energy to verify them. One of the reason my file is in non routine. Try using less NPR days and more of PR days
