While Canada strives to be welcoming to foreign nationals, it is not above detaining or deporting those the government believes have violated its laws and core values. If you have received a removal order from either the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), it is of the utmost importance that you treat these orders with the highest level of concern. The Canadian government does not issue these orders on a whim; they should not be treated as mere suggestions. If they have ordered your removal from the country, they firmly believe that you have violated the nation’s laws and are inadmissible.
Do not despair. There is legal help available to you and others facing removal proceedings.

The CBSA and CIC issue three different types of removal orders.
A Departure Order requires that you leave the country within 30 days of receiving the order. When you reach a port of exit or border crossing, you must confirm your departure with the Border Services officers there. Provided that you obey these demands, you may be allowed to return to Canada at a later date. If you do not leave within 30 days or do not confirm your departure when you do leave, the Departure Order becomes a Deportation Order. At this point, returning to Canada becomes much more difficult.
An Exclusion Order requires that you leave Canada and not return for an entire year. That one year may become five years if the Canadian government finds you guilty of misrepresentation.
A Deportation Order shall remove you from the country and permanently ban you from returning. Additionally, if CBSA paid to have you removed, then you also must repay them for their service.
If you have received a Deportation Order, you could potentially return to Canada if you obtain a legal document known as the Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC). Before applying for an ARC, please consult with experienced immigration lawyers.
Generally, the most common reason for a removal order to be issued is that a foreign national overstayed their welcome and did not depart from the country after their visa expired. However, if an immigrant commits a crime, then law enforcement passes that information along to the CBSA, and it becomes their duty to deport that individual.
