Section 224 — Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations: Departure order

For the purposes of subsection 52(1) of the Act, an enforced departure order is a circumstance in which the foreign national is exempt from the requirement to obtain an authorization in order to return to Canada. A foreign national who is issued a departure order must meet the requirements set out in paragraphs 240(1)(a) to (c) within 30 days after the order becomes enforceable, failing which the departure order becomes a deportation order. If the foreign national is detained within the 30-day period or the removal order against them is stayed, the 30-day period is suspended until the foreign national’s release or the removal order becomes enforceable.
