If you are looking to come back to Canada but the government has issued you a removal order then you must apply for an Authorization to Return Canada (ARC) . An Authorization to Return to Canada is a documentation that states you are allowed to enter Canada as long as the conditions of their removal order have been satisfied. The most common reason individuals need an ARC is because they had overstayed their welcome stay in Canada as student, worker or tourist. Another reason you can be removed from Canada is for getting charged with a criminal record. Below will discuss different types of removal orders and what steps you can take to return based on your unique situation.
There are a few different types of Removal Orders one may receive that is why it is advisable to recognize what type was issued to you before starting the ARC application process; as this piece of documentation is not necessary for all forms of removal orders.
Before applying for an Authorization to Return to Canada it is important to consider a few factors that could stop an immigration officer from issuing it to you, as some of these factors can be influenced based on decisions that you make in the leading days/weeks/months before your application.
Firstly, it is important to acknowledge whether or not one was removed from the country because of a criminal inadmissibility issue. If one was issued a removal order because of a criminal inadmissibility, they must first clear their name of any and all criminal inadmissibility’s they may have; before applying for an authorization to return. They can do this by filing for Criminal Rehabilitation if the offence occurred outside of Canada or Record Suspension if the offence occurred in side Canada. You may also be able to overcome your inadmissibility on temporary basis by applying for Temporary Resident Permit (TRP).
Once you have cleared any inadmissibility into the country the next thing to consider are the reasons for your removal order and the likelihood for you to reoffend. The likelihood to reoffend is something that Canadian immigration officers take into great importance when considering an ARC application.
For example, if you were issued a Removal Order because you were working illegally and like the ARC application to approved you must demonstrate to the immigration officer:
Another thing to consider when applying for ARC is the length of time since the refusal order was issued. If not enough time has passed since you were issued the removal order than the decision of the immigration officer when it comes to your ARC application could be affected.
When looking for genuine and authentic applications an applicant who has seemingly turned their life around in only a matter of weeks for example could be looked down upon by the officer and ultimately ones application could be refused because of it.
Also, the reason you wish to come to Canada plays an important role for getting the application approved or refused. When you apply for ARC application the immigration officer wants to know why you want to Canada and the importance of the event. So whether it is for tourism, work, study, business, family emergency or whatever the case be explain the importance of it and ties to your home country.
If you are looking to study, work or travel to Canada for tourism purposes you would have to meet the requirements for your visa or permit and at the same time meet the requirements for the ARC application. This has to be done all together and is never to be done separately from an ARC application; as the two immigration issues will be dealt with at the same time.
