Hello fellow forum members,
My father got a departure order as a result of a negative decision to his appeal of PR status, and the order was issued Jan 8th. He has 30 days to report for departure and leave the country before it becomes a deportation order.
The situation he's in though, is that he already left the country on Dec 2, over a month before the departure order was issue, and he had no idea at that time that he needed to obtain a certificate of departure should he need to entry to country again with a visitor visa or any other sorts of manners. I have contacted the CBSA and they said he's outside of Canada right now so there's nothing they can do, and asked me to contact IRCC. But apparently the IRCC client support centre is under maintenance and I can't gather enough information from their website.
Does anyone know how my father can obtain a certificate of departure outside of Canada? At the very minimum, at least a certified proof that he's physically outside of Canada before the 30 day period given on the departure order?
Any answer is highly appreciated!
P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm not sure where to post it.
