My departure order became a deportation order back in 1975 as I didn’t verify my departure. I was asked to get ARC at the Canadian border. Should I submit a separate ARC as I am from a visa exempt country? What Does separate arc mean? Is there an application form for ARC? I can’t find. If no form , should I just submit letter explaining my background for entry refusal and reason why I want to visit Canada? Many thanks !

Instructions are here.

How to apply
If you are applying for a visa or permit to come to Canada you must include all of the required documents with your application, including:
  • a Temporary Resident Visa application form, fully completed online and validated to create the barcode page.
  • two passport size photographs taken within the last six months.
  • a copy of your passport.
  • a written letter (in English or French) explaining, in detail, the reasons you feel you should be allowed to return to Canada. The letter must be written in block letters in black ink or typed.
  • the processing fee ($400 CAD). Pay your fees online (opens in a new tab).
Note: If you are from a visa-exempt country and require an ARC to re-enter Canada, you must submit these documents by mail to the visa office responsible for your region .

If your departure order became a deportation order because you did not leave Canada within 30 days of the date the departure order was issued, you must explain the reasons you did not leave Canada in the allotted amount of time.

If you are required to re-pay any costs related to your removal from Canada, you will be told the amount when your application is being processed.

If you must attend an interview or if additional documents are required, you will be notified in writing. You will also be notified in writing of the final decision in your case.
