Removal vs Deportation in Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A removal order is usually broader. It can be a departure order, an exclusion order, or a deportation order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A departure order usually requires leaving Canada within 30 days after it becomes enforceable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An exclusion order usually bars return for 1 year, or 5 years in some misrepresentation cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official government guidance specifically notes that even impaired driving can make someone inadmissible for serious criminality. The law also covers offences in Canada and certain offences or acts outside Canada if they would amount to qualifying Canadian offences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next steps depend on the type of order, the reason for inadmissibility, and where the case is procedurally. CBSA says enforcing removals from Canada<\/a> is subject to due process and can involve appeals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, lawyers also seek a stay motion in the Federal Court to try to pause removal while the Court considers the matter. Appeal rights are limited in some serious inadmissibility cases, including certain serious criminality cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
