IRCC introduced new guidelines to cancel temporary resident documents on a case-by-case basis

On November 4, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) rolled out updated guidelines following regulatory amendments that took effect January 31, 2025. These changes grant designated officers the authority to individually cancel electronic travel authorizations, temporary resident visas, work permits, and study permits when circumstances warrant. The new provisions under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations apply exclusively to issued documents rather than pending applications and are designed to give immigration officials more flexibility in managing temporary resident status.
