H82 – Work Permit for Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) holders

H82 – Work Permit for holders of a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

For individuals holding a TRP issued under A24 who lack the means to support themselves.

Primary target audience and eligibility

• TRP valid for at least 6 months.
• Proof of inability to support oneself without working.
• Meeting all other non-exempt work permit requirements.

Required documents

TRP, passport, bank statements, living expenses, and evidence of support sources.

Important notes

A TRP is distinct from a visitor visa/TRV or a visitor record; having a visitor visa does not mean you qualify under H82.

Being LMIA-exempt does not waive other work permit eligibility requirements. Work permits and permanent residency are assessed separately.
