Section 40 — Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations: Direction to leave

Except in the case of protected persons within the meaning of subsection 95(2) of the Act and refugee protection claimants, an officer who is unable to examine a person who is seeking to enter Canada at a port of entry shall, in writing, direct the person to leave Canada. A copy of the direction shall be served on the person as well as on the owner or person in control of the means of transportation, if any, that brought the person to Canada. The direction ceases to have effect when the person appears again at a port of entry and an officer proceeds to examine the person.
