Secure authorization to return to Canada with strategic legal support.
When a person has been removed from Canada by immigration authorities, they must obtain an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) before re-entering the country.
An ARC is required if you were previously issued a removal order and wish to return to Canada in the future. Without this authorization, you may not be permitted to re-enter.
An ARC is only issued under specific circumstances and is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
When Is an ARC Required?
You may need an ARC if:
You were deported from Canada
You were subject to a removal order
You left Canada after receiving a removal notice
If you intend to return to Canada for important or compelling reasons, immigration authorities may consider issuing an ARC.
Approval depends on factors such as:
The reason for your original removal
Whether you complied with the removal order
The time that has passed
The purpose of your return
Each application is carefully reviewed before a decision is made.
