Hi, my husband applied for refugee claim in 2023. His case is rejected after hearing and his appeal in RPD also got rejected. Now he wants to leave Canada voluntarily. What is the process and how long will it take. He got financial support and just one month before he got mail that he has big amount as overpayment dues.
Will he get clearance from cbsa without paying this?

1- I am unsure if he will be cleared to travel with a balance due
2- to leave voluntarily he needs to contact CBSA and maybe IRCC to arrange to have his passport given back to him so he can travel- this normally happens at the airport when he is departing, he'd need to book a ticket etc.
3- he should call the govt entity (service canada or whoever sent the letter) regarding overpayment dues to resolve it if its a mistake

Renew the passport and get new one. Buy ticket and fly. There is no exist stamp in canada. Leaving is simple.

If you do it this way make sure to inform IRCC, CBSA, CRA, etc. that you have left Canada once you are outside of Canada. If you receive any form of welfare also very important to inform the welfare office that you have left Canada. You or your dependents may want to attempt to enter Canada in the future so best to make the cleanest break possible.

Definitely it’s a mistake. They made it for whole 15 months but my husband was unemployed for almost an year. How long it will take to correct it? He wants to leave asap as we’re split for 2 years now. Also he got very good job offer back home. How to expedite this process

Had your spouse informed the government (IRB, IRCC, CRA, provincial gvt, etc) that you had separated 2 years ago and what’s your status in Canada? I would all be concerned about your potential involvement in the attempt to collect the overpayment as a spouse who typically would have some joint assets.

Sorry I didn’t explain my point properly. I meant that we as family are not living together since 2 years because he applied for asylum in Canada. Me and 4 children are in our home country just want him to come back soon. He will go to cbsa office in Toronto this week
