Understanding Removal Orders in Canada: What You Need to Know

If you or a loved one has been issued a Removal Order, it’s crucial to act quickly and understand your options. At North Vista Immigration, we specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of Removal Orders, ensuring you have the best chance to protect your status in Canada.

What is a Removal Order?

A Removal Order is a legal directive issued by Canadian immigration authorities requiring an individual to leave Canada. These orders can arise in various situations, including:  

  • A decision by the Immigration Division (ID) or Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) after a hearing. 
  • A Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer issued the order following an examination.  
  • A conditional Removal Order is issued after the refusal of a refugee claim.  

Regardless of how the order was issued, time is of the essence. Understanding the type of Removal Order and its implications is the first step toward resolving your situation.  

Types of Removal Orders and Their Consequences  

  1. Departure Order
  • You must leave Canada within 30 days and confirm your departure with the CBSA.  
  • Failure to comply will typically convert the Departure Order into a Deportation Order, which carries more severe consequences.

    2. Exclusion Order  

  • You are required to leave Canada and confirm your departure with the CBSA.  
  • Depending on the reasons for the order, you may be barred from returning to Canada for 1 to 5 years.  

     3. Deportation Order  

  • You must leave Canada immediately, and the CBSA will arrange for your removal if you fail to comply.  

If you leave under a Deportation Order, you will need an Authorization to return to Canada (ARC) to re-enter the country in the future.

Can You Challenge a Removal Order?

Permanent Residents:
You may have the right to appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). However, this right is not guaranteed in cases involving serious criminality, security concerns, or organized criminality. If you are ineligible for an appeal, you may still challenge the decision through the Federal Court of Canada.
Foreign Nationals:
While you cannot appeal to the IAD, you may still apply for a Judicial Review at the Federal Court to challenge the decision.
Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)
If you fear returning to your home country due to risks such as persecution, violence, or other dangers, you may be eligible to apply for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA). This process allows Canadian authorities to assess whether your removal would put you at risk.
