Authority to Return to Canada
If you have been the subject of a removal order from Canada, you will
probably need an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) if you want to
return. Whether you need one depends on the type of removal order that
was issued.
Types of removal orders:
1. Departure Order
a) If you received a Departure Order, 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. You may return to Canada subject to normal examination at the port of entry.
b) 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 and you need to apply for an ARC.
2. Exclusion Order
a) If you were issued an Exclusion Order, 12 months have passed since
you left Canada, and you have a Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056B)
showing the date upon which you left Canada you do not need an ARC. You may return to Canada subject to normal examination at the port of entry.
b) If you were issued an Exclusion Order based on a finding of
misrepresentation and less than 2 years have passed since the Exclusion
Order was enforced, then you need to apply for an ARC.b)
If you wish to return to Canada less than 12 months after the Exclusion
Order was enforced or do not have a Certificate of Departure, you need to apply for an ARC.
3. Deportation Order
If you have been the subject of a Deportation Order you will need to apply for an ARC.
When an officer assesses your application, they will consider, among other things:
- the reasons for the removal order,
- the possibility that you will repeat the behaviour that caused the order to be issued,
- the length of time since the order was enforced,
- your current situation, and,
- the reason you want to enter Canada.
Be mindful that an incomplete or illegible application will be returned without being processed. There is no guarantee that you will be issued an Authorization to Return to Canada.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Truly worth everything with these guys.I came in with a very complicated case and was so daunted by the whole process. Upon acquiring their services I was immediately calmed. They’re very thorough with their work and let you know exactly what they need to do. I had the pleasure of dealing with Viola Gniadek on my case a lot, and she was nothing short of superb. She handled any question or query we had quickly and promptly. All while doing so with such an amazing attitude. Not to mention she was dealing with it all with opposite sides of the world time zones!Would 110 percent recommend Bellissimo Law group for any immigration help! I tip my hat!
Good service. Lijing and her team were very supportive and put in the time and were accessible online when we needed to make urgent and speedy changes. Once the application was made, it took less than 2 weeks for approval!.
I engaged them for a PRTD case. They were brilliant, extremely detail-oriented, and knew what they were doing at every step.Not just that, the service was impeccable. I am a fussy client, and I asked many painful questions. Michelle was very kind and patient with me throughout this process.Engage them with your eyes closed. You will be in good hands!
Bellisimo Law Group, provides the best Legal Services. Their Prompt response and attention too details is awesome. I am already feeling confident and Positive with the approach and steps they have taken so far.
I am very grateful to Michelle and Alexandra for their assistance with my Permanent residency case. I am inland and had a very complex file so I was referred by my immigration consultant to Bellisimo. When I consulted, the strategy was made very clear to me. During the process of preparing our PR application, they paid attention to every small detail and made sure that we submitted a very solid application. Waiting is not easy but I can say that it was a journey that I walked with Michelle and Alex holding my hand at each step. My PR was approved on first submission, no additional documents were requested. They were very knowledgeable and tried to keep me calm as I would often breakdown during my calls to them. I am very happy that my PR for myself and my dependants (who were all offshore) was approved!! I recommend Michelle and Alex – I know its not easy to just let go; but my advise to anyone is to just trust them and let them lead the process!! They have years of experience and I am proof that they know what they are doing. Thank you again!!
