Authorization to return to canada?
Salman
Answer:
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), you need written authorization in order to return to Canada because you were ordered removed. See Subsection 52(1) of the IRPA. It is the law governing authorization to return to Canada after a removal order has been enforced.
There are different types of Removal Orders: departure orders, exclusion orders and deportation orders.
If your removal order was an Exclusion Order, then you cannot return to Canada within at least a year after being removed (or perhaps 2 years, in some cases).
Also, under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, when you fail to be given refugee status, you must be outside of Canada at least 90 days before trying again to apply to be a refugee.
Furthermore, if you are not seeking refugee status, you will need a visa. There are three types of visa, which you can find on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. (CIC is a government department). To visit, you would need a Temporary Resident Visa because your country (Pakistan) is on the list of nations whose national require visas to enter Canada. You can also apply for work or study visas.
You can contact a Canadian Consulate or Embassy Office in your country to inquire further about the details of your case. The CIC website will give you contact information.
