What is a Removal Order?
A removal order is an official document issued by the Canadian government requiring an individual to leave the country. Removal orders are typically issued when an individual is found to be in violation of immigration laws. There are three main types of removal orders:
- Departure Order: Requires the individual to leave Canada within 30 days. If they comply, they may return to Canada in the future.
- Exclusion Order: Bans the individual from returning to Canada for one year. If the exclusion order is issued for misrepresentation, the ban extends to five years.
- Deportation Order: Permanently bans the individual from returning to Canada unless they receive written permission from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Common Reasons for Removal Orders
Overstaying a Visa
Remaining in Canada beyond the authorized period.
Criminal Activity
Committing a crime while in Canada.
Misrepresentation
Providing false or misleading information on immigration applications.
Violation of Conditions
Failing to comply with the conditions of your stay in Canada.
Steps to Take if You Receive a Removal Order
Understand the Type of Order: Determine whether you have received a departure, exclusion, or deportation order.
Seek Legal Advice: Consult with an immigration lawyer to understand your options and rights.
File an Appeal: If eligible, you may appeal the removal order to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) within 30 days of receiving the order.
Prepare for Departure: If an appeal is not possible or unsuccessful, make arrangements to leave Canada by the specified date.
Appealing a Removal Order
- Eligibility: Not all removal orders can be appealed. Departure orders and exclusion orders can be appealed under certain conditions, while deportation orders generally cannot.
- Process: File a Notice of Appeal with the IAD. Prepare your case by gathering evidence and documentation to support your appeal.
- Hearing: Attend the appeal hearing, where you will present your case. You may bring witnesses and legal representation.
