Hello again!
Well my case is very complicated, I was a minor when I entered Canada, my dad took my family and me there and he applied through as a refugee (pfft) I was just your average 17 year old teenager living life. I met my wife at high school, then well the application got denied, we kept on the paperwork, but we were never deported, we left on our own, (I was an adult by then) but even so when you leave like that, they give you a departure order. The thing is, that according to the law, minors and accompanying members of the main applicant do not need an ARC to go back to Canada, but I tried to visit a year ago, and they said I did need one, they obviously didn't let me in, but in the emails they said I didn't need one. That's why it's so confusing! ???
