Removal Order

Facing a removal order can be a daunting and distressing experience. At Indicate Immigration, our team of expert consultants is here to help you understand the process, explore possible remedies, and provide guidance on how to navigate this challenging situation. With our expertise in Canadian immigration law, we are committed to assisting you in seeking the best possible outcome.

What is a Removal Order?

A removal order is issued by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) when a foreign national or permanent resident is found to be inadmissible to Canada or in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). Removal orders are formal instructions that require the individual to leave Canada and may impose restrictions on their ability to return.

What to Do If You Have Been Issued a Removal Order?

If you have been issued a removal order, it is essential to act promptly and seek professional guidance. Here are the steps you should take:

  • Understand the type of removal order issued and the specific consequences it entails.
  • Consult with an experienced immigration consultant or lawyer to assess your situation and explore possible remedies.
  • Act in accordance with the advice provided by your consultant, which may include challenging the removal order, applying for a stay of removal, or exploring other immigration options.

Types of Removal Orders and Their Consequences

There are three types of removal orders, each with varying consequences and conditions:

  • Departure Order: This requires the individual to leave Canada within 30 days of the order becoming enforceable. If they comply, they may return to Canada in the future, subject to normal immigration requirements.
  • Exclusion Order: This bars the individual from returning to Canada for one year (or five years in cases of misrepresentation) without written authorization.
  • Deportation Order: This permanently bars the individual from returning to Canada without written authorization from the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
