ARC Help. I was deported from Canada as a child, and from an eTA-required country. How do I do this?

[jurgpurg]

I grew up in Canada, and found out last week that we didn’t just move, but were actually deported. I found this out whilst planning a trip to visit, since I’m old enough to pay for my own ticket and everything. As I was applying for the eTA, my parents informed me of the situation.

I saw my Certificate of Departure, it was a Deportation Order. A34 is on the admissibility part, but no criminality or detention or anything. It was misrepresentation that was committed though.

On the website, it’s saying I need to apply for an eTA first, and then they’ll give me instructions for how to apply for an ARC. I applied, but they never informed me on how to apply for an ARC. What do I do?

I am heartbroken. I miss Canada so much.

Can you double check?

Arrests, detentions and removals - Removal from Canada
If you get a Certificate of Departure, maybe you are determined to leave voluntarily. Take a look at the date of the certificate.

This is what I got from Copilot:
A Certificate of Departure is a historical document that certifies your willing departure from Canada before a deportation. If you receive a Departure Order in Canada, you are required to leave Canada within 30 days. When leaving Canada, you will need to verify your departure with an immigration officer at the border or port of exit. Upon verifying your departure, you will receive a Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056B) from the officer.

If you applied for eTA and did you get your eTA approved? Because if you are in admissible, you should get instructions on how to apply for an ARC.

Yes, it says deportation order on it.

I did not get my eTA approved. According to the law, I am inadmissible, but I still haven’t gotten any instructions.

Assume your ETA is going through a manual review. On a positive note you may have been a minor when you were deported so that can help your case. Depending on how long you have been in your home country and how strong your ties are there is still a chance you may be able to visit Canada but travel plans in the near future are not realistic. If you do get approved please limit an initial visit to a short visit 2-3 weeks maximum and return home to start establishing a pattern of following immigration rules. Depending what is your citizenship I would also attempt to visit other countries and return home. Would recommend US, UK, Australia, etc. although you may get an automatic refusal or denied entry. If you are visa exempt you may be able to travel visit the UK for example if you have European citizenship.

But it says it’s refused and the case is closed. I expected that, I just need to know how to apply for an ARC as someone who’s from an eTA- approved country. It says they’ll send me information on how to do it, but I am yet to receive that.

Missed that on the 2nd post it said it was denied. The first post made it seem like still in processing. How long since you were deported?

No worries. It’s been 10 years!
