Hi
I entered Canada illegally several months ago, recently I hear my father is sick in my home country and I would like to go back home. Can anyone please tell me how the voluntary departure procedure works? Can I just buy a plane ticket to go back home? What can I expect to happen if I show up at the airport with a plane ticket going home? Will I be held in detention, if so for how long? Thank you.
1. Were you reported? Was an order issued?
2. If an order was issued, then you buy your ticket and before you board the plan you report to Immigration at the Airport and show you that you are leaving.
3. If no order was issued, then you leave. Canada doesn't have exit controls.
