    Can I enter Canada after 1 year, did a refugee claim and it was declined?

    It is not correct that every failed refugee requires ARC to return. The problem often is that the form is either incorrectly completed by the enforcement officer or the individual believes they are departing prior to the removal order becoming a deportation order when in fact it actually has...

    Can I enter Canada after 1 year, did a refugee claim and it was declined?

    In fact work permits have been issued where there was a deportation order in place after ARC was obtained. Each case must be looked at on an individual basis and be assessed. As previously indicated it is rare, but can happen.

    You state your permit is valid to Sep bringing you to about 20 months or whatever number of hours completed; a very short time away from meeting the timeline to apply for PR under the program you started.

    Person being sponsored has had a removal order

    There is no removal order that prevents return for a period of three years.
