Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC)
If you were removed from Canada (deportation, exclusion, or departure order), you may need an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) before re-entering.
How It Works
Type of removal order matters:
Departure order (left within 30 days, verified) → no ARC needed.
Exclusion order → ARC needed if re-entry is before 1 year.
Deportation order → ARC always required.
Assessment – Officers consider compliance with past orders, reason for return, and public interest.
Why It Matters
Without ARC, your entry may be refused at the border.
Careful explanation increases chances of success.
