Authorization to Return to Canada – ARC

In cases where individuals have been ordered to leave Canada, they would require an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) in order to re-enter the country. 

If someone is deemed inadmissible to Canada and receives a removal order, it means they must leave the country due to reasons such as criminal conduct or violations of Canadian law.

An ARC is an official document that allows a foreign national who has been issued a removal order to request permission to return to Canada. The individual subject to the removal order must apply for an ARC and demonstrate compelling reasons or changes in their circumstances that warrant their return.

The application for an ARC is typically submitted to the appropriate Canadian visa office abroad or at a port of entry when seeking re-entry. The application process involves providing detailed information about the reasons for requesting the ARC and supporting documentation.

The decision to grant an ARC is at the discretion of Canadian immigration authorities, who will assess the individual’s situation, including the reasons for the removal order and any evidence of rehabilitation or changes that mitigate the previous inadmissibility.

Individuals who have received a removal order and wish to return to Canada should consult with an immigration lawyer or authorized representative to understand the specific requirements, eligibility criteria, and procedures for applying for an Authorization to Return to Canada.
