Exclusion order

Removal
🍁 In Simple Terms

An exclusion order requires you to get written authorization before returning to Canada during the one year after the order is enforced. If the exclusion was based on misrepresentation, you're barred for five years. Once the exclusion period ends, you can return to Canada without needing special permission.

Affects: Persons subject to removal or detention
