You could take a look at the CIC manual on TRP's - see if it offers any insight?

You probably could have applied at the POE for your TWP but with him being inadmissible, he probably would have found himself on a plane home.

Thanks, since joining this forum I actually found the OP 20 document and have been reading it. It's actually made me quite happy because since reading that document I am almost certain that it would be very difficult to reject giving him a TRP given their own guidlines:
i.e All of the bullet points in section 10 can be answered with a positive response about my partners situation AND section 11.2. - How to determine if criminal inadmissibility is minor all bullet points conclusevely points to my partners criminal offence as being classed as “minor”. He has zero chance of re-offending, has had TWO other jobs after the offence, and also letters stating his good character and that he would be offered re-employment again. (I think this is very useful, given his offence was at a previous job)

In my mind the only decision is weather or not him accompanying me to Canada as my partner is a good enough reason to grant him a TRP... I guess nobody can know how an immigration worker would decide that.

Yes PMM even if I knew we would apply for his TRP at the POE before I sent off our application, I wouldn't have risked it. Given that my new job is paying for our flights and temp accomodation when we get to Canada, I wanted to do things all formal and proper from the original application. Flying from the UK to Canada not knowing if he would be allowed in or not, would seem slightly unprofessional in my eyes.

Sorry Irishgirl, I didnt meant generally, I just meant for our situation. For others, such as yourself, it would be perfectly fine and make more sense. Didn't mean to offend.

I just meant because my company are paying for our flights and currently waiting for us to come to Canada, I wouldnt want to tell them that when we land we MIGHT not be allowed in.

Has anyone here applied for a TRP from the London embassy? Can anyone share time taken or a rough timeline so I know what similar applicants have had to wait.

Thanks.
