A removal order is a document issued by the Canadian government that orders a foreign national or permanent resident to leave Canada. It is issued when a person has violated the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) or has been found inadmissible to Canada.
A removal order can be issued for a variety of reasons, including criminal activity, misrepresentation, or medical inadmissibility. It is important to note that a removal order is not the same as deportation. A removal order is issued when a person is in Canada and must leave, while deportation is when a person is removed from Canada and barred from returning.
When a removal order is issued, the person must leave Canada within 30 days. If they do not leave, they may be subject to arrest and detention. In some cases, a person may be able to appeal a removal order.
It is important to note that a removal order can have serious consequences. A person who has been issued a removal order may be barred from returning to Canada for a period of time, and may be ineligible for certain types of visas or permits. It is important to seek legal advice if you have been issued a removal order.
