🍁 In Simple Terms
A removal order that was never carried out dies the moment the person becomes a permanent resident. Note that the 30-day voluntary departure window for departure orders, and the way they harden into deportation orders if you miss it, lives in the regulations (IRPR section 224), not here.
Affects: Persons subject to removal or detention
Legal Text: IRPA Section 51
51 A removal order that has not been enforced becomes void if the foreign national becomes a permanent resident.
