Authorization to Return To Canada

Have you ever been removed from Canada?

A foreign national can be removed from Canada through

Departure Order

If you received a Departure Order and you

  • left Canada within the required 30 days and
  • verified your departure with a Canadian immigration officer at the port of exit

You do not need an ARC

  • If you left the country without verifying your departure, or more than 30 days after the Departure Order was issued, the Departure Order automatically becomes a Deportation Order

You need to apply for an ARC

Exclusion Order

If you were issued an Exclusion Order and

  • 12 months have passed since you left Canada and
  • you have a Certificate of Departure showing the date you left Canada

You do not need an ARC

  • If you wish to return to Canada less than 12 months after the Exclusion Order was issued, or do not have a Certificate of Departure,

You need to apply for an ARC

Deportation Order

If you have been the subject of a Deportation Order

You need to apply for an ARC

A Direction to Leave Canada

A Direction to Leave Canada (form number IMM 1217B) is not a removal order. If you have been the subject of a Direction to Leave Canada, you do not need to apply for an ARC. You may return to Canada subject to normal examination at the port of entry.

Criminal Inadmissibility

If you were deported because of criminal inadmissibility you (most likely) also have to apply for either Criminal Rehabilitation or a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) to enter Canada legally
