ARC

Authorization to return to Canada

Types of removal orders:

Depature Order:

Individuals who receive a departure order must leave Canada within 30 days and verify their departure with an immigration officer. If the individual complies with these conditions, then he or she most likely does not require an ARC.

Exclusion Order:

An exclusion order means you can’t return to Canada for 1 year after the order has been enforced. If you were issued the exclusion order because of misrepresentation, you can’t return to Canada for 5 years after the order has been enforced.

Deportation Order:

If you have been the subject of a Deportation Order you will need to apply for an ARC. Note: 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.
