# Temporary residence

Temporary residence sits under [`/app/immireport/tr`](https://my.lexpoint.io/app/immireport/tr), and
is organised by purpose rather than by document: **Visit**, **Study**, and **Work**. Each purpose hub
lists the instruments inside it.

| Purpose | Instruments | Assessed today |
|---|---|---|
| Visit | Visitor visa (TRV), eTA | Yes |
| Study | Study Permit | Yes |
| Work | Work Permit | No — stream matching not built yet |

The **TR Options** card on the ImmiReport hub counts these four.

## Your situation

Every TR hub opens with a **Your situation** card. It is facts, not a verdict: whether Lexpoint has
you in Canada or outside it, what it can tell you about applying from where you are, your citizenship,
your current status, and the date of the IRCC processing-time data behind the page.

Two of your profile fields drive most of what follows. **Residence country** decides whether Lexpoint
uses inland or overseas rules and processing times — pages are chipped **Inland** or **Outland**
accordingly. **Citizenship country** decides which travel document class applies to you at all.

## Instrument statuses

Instrument rows and cards carry one of these labels:

| Label | Means |
|---|---|
| **Eligible to apply** | You clear every requirement Lexpoint checks |
| **May qualify** | It may apply, subject to conditions — open the page for which |
| **Not eligible to apply** | A checked requirement is unmet |
| **Not applicable** | This document class does not apply to you |
| **More info needed** | Your profile is missing a fact Lexpoint needs to classify this |
| **Coming soon** | Lexpoint does not assess this yet |

On the compact hub rows the same statuses show as `1/1`, `0/1`, `N/A`, `More info`, or `Soon`.

When Lexpoint cannot classify a document, the row's caption tells you what to fix rather than leaving
you guessing — *Confirm citizenship* for visitor documents, and for the study permit one of *Add LOA*,
*Update LOA dates*, or *Confirm LOA details*.

## Visit — visitor visa and eTA

The TRV and eTA pages each run the standard section order: how selection works, requirements, then
next steps. Their selection ladder is short and says so — *No pool, no ranking — an officer assesses
your application on its own merits* for the TRV, and for the eTA *most eTA applications are decided
within minutes*.

The requirements list is derived from what Lexpoint knows about your citizenship, your location, and
your current status. Where a document does not apply to you at all, the list says so in one row and
stops, with a link to update your citizenship.

The eTA card can be **conditional**: your citizenship is visa-required, but the eTA may still apply
under IRCC's conditions. The page lists what those conditions cover — a Canadian visitor visa held in
the last ten years or a valid US non-immigrant visa, a temporary visit, and arrival by air. Land and
sea entry is not covered by it.

Both pages end with a card showing the IRCC processing time and the fee, and a chart of how that
processing time has moved.

## Study — study permit

The study permit ladder puts the acceptance letter first: *No pool, no ranking — you need a letter of
acceptance before you can apply.* That is why the study card asks for a letter of acceptance before
it will assess anything.

The requirements list marks each row **Met**, **Not met**, or **N/A**, with a detail line under rows
that need explaining. Where a requirement depends on something only you can confirm, the page gives
you the control to confirm it inline rather than sending you elsewhere.

When your profile holds a letter of acceptance with cost of studies, a **proof of funds** card
compares the funds recorded against the cost and shows any shortfall.

The next-steps row shows the IRCC processing time, the fee, and your program start date.

## Work — work permit

The work permit page opens, shows the ladder — *No pool, no ranking — the basis for the permit
decides which requirements apply* — and then states in the requirements section that stream matching
is coming soon. It carries a **Coming soon** verdict rather than an eligibility answer.

What it does give you today is real: the IRCC processing time for a work permit from where you are,
the fee, and the processing-time trend.

:::note[Why the page exists at all while empty]
Lexpoint would rather show you a page that says clearly what it cannot yet do than leave a gap you
have to guess about. The processing time and fee are useful now; the assessment lands when it is
trustworthy.

## Processing times

Every TR page shows a processing time drawn from IRCC's published bulletins, with the source and the
publication date visible. Lexpoint picks the right figure for you from your residence country: the
inland figure when you are in Canada, and your country's overseas figure when you are not. Where IRCC
has published nothing for your combination, the card reads **Not published by IRCC** rather than
inventing an estimate.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does my work permit page say "Coming soon"?

Work permit stream matching is not built yet. Lexpoint shows the IRCC processing time and the fee for a work permit, and says plainly that it cannot yet tell you which stream fits — rather than showing a verdict it cannot support.

### Why does my eTA card say "Conditional"?

Lexpoint marks the eTA conditional when your citizenship is visa-required but the eTA may still apply under IRCC's conditions. Opening the card shows what those conditions are. Where the conditions are not met, a visitor visa is the default.

### Are the processing times on these pages Lexpoint's estimates?

No. They are IRCC's published figures, and the card is marked IRCC when the value came from a published bulletin. Lexpoint chooses which figure applies from your residence country — inland when you are in Canada, your country's overseas figure when you are not. If IRCC has published nothing, the card reads "Not published by IRCC".
