A removal order from the old Act that had not been carried out kept running, now under the current Act. If the removal had been stayed under the old rules, that stay continued until whichever of the current stay-ending events came first. Two groups lost the continued stay: people found to have no credible basis for a refugee claim, and people removable for serious criminality. Anyone already outside Canada after an executed removal fell under the current return-authorization rules.
(3)Subsection (2) does not apply if (a)the subject of the removal order was determined by the Convention Refugee Determination Division not to have a credible basis for their claim; or (b)the subject of the removal order(i)is subject to a removal order because they are inadmissible on grounds of serious criminality, or(ii)resides or sojourns in the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon and is the subject of a report prepared under subsection 44(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act on their entry into Canada.
(4)A conditional removal order made under the former Act continues in force and is subject to subsection 49(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
(5)Section 52 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act applies to a person who immediately before the coming into force of this section was outside Canada after a removal order was executed against them.
