Please, we need honest advice here—no sugar-coating. Say it as it is.
My friend received a removal order in 2023 after a failed refugee claim / PRRA. CBSA bought his ticket and gave it to him, but he did not show up at the airport on the departure date due to fear of returning to his home country.
Now his girlfriend and him are about to get married. Please note that this is a genuine relationship. However, given his current situation, how is this likely to play out?
Like I said, I need advice from people who have had similar experiences. I know most people will say “get a lawyer”—of course they will—but we also know that many lawyers are just after money

You need to deal with your removal order to be able to sponsor, there's a public policy that might be applicable https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...on-refugee-protection-act-spousal-policy.html
 
The sponsor is not the one with the removal order...The applicant is the one with the removal order...The sponsor is a Canadian Citizen

Realistically, it's really serious. Your friend is inadmissible to Canada at this point in time. Failing to comply with the removal order converts it to a deportation order immediately and results in "indefinite" inadmissability. It can be overcome (maybe), but your friend should be looking for the best, most reputable lawyer they can afford. Not the kind you find in the local strip mall.

Thank you.
What if he leaves Canada now and they process it as an outland spousal sponsorship? Do you think Canada will allow him to return, bearing in mind that he did not leave in 2023?

Speak to a lawyer. You should apply Outland no matter what because even if you attempt to remain in Canada you will be on IRCC’s and CBSA’s radar once you file for sponsorship.

So he's inadmissible. That means potentially banned permanently. He'd need to apply for an ARC to be allowed to return. Tell them to consult with a really good lawyer (pay for a consultation with someone reputable....at least they'll have a realistic view of outcomes) before they rush out and make any life altering decisions. It's unlikely to be a quick resolution.
