Removal Orders arise in the following circumstances:
- The Immigration Division (ID) or Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) determines that a Removal Order should be issued after a hearing, and issues an Order.
- A Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Officer issues a Removal Order after an examination.
- An individual submits a refugee claim, and so receives a conditional Removal Order that will come into effect shortly after the refusal of the refugee claim.
If you have received a Removal Order, it is important to understand the type of Removal Order you have received, its consequences for your stay in Canada, and whether you can challenge the decision. In all cases, time is of the essence.
Types of Removal Orders and their Consequence
- Departure Order - a departure order requires that you leave Canada within 30 days, confirming your departure with the CBSA on exit from the country. If you do not leave Canada within the 30 days, in nearly all cases the departure order will become a deportation order.
- Exclusion Order - an exclusion order requires that you leave Canada, confirming your departure with the CBSA on exit from the country. Depending upon the reasons for which the exclusion order was issued, you will be barred from making an application to return to Canada for one to five years.
- Deportation Orde - a deportation order requires that you leave Canada, confirming your departure with the CBSA, failing which the CBSA will arrange for your removal from Canada. If you leave Canada under a deportation order, you will require an Authorization to Re-Enter (ARC) should you ever want to return to Canada.
Removal Orders, in all cases, require that you leave Canada. If you fear return to your country of nationality or habitual residence, you may make an application for Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to have your risks assessed prior to removal.
