ARC Help. I was deported from Canada as a child, and from an eTA-required country. How do I do this?

I grew up in Canada, and found out last week that we didn’t just move, but were actually deported. I found this out whilst planning a trip to visit, since I’m old enough to pay for my own ticket and everything. As I was applying for the eTA, my parents informed me of the situation.

I saw my Certificate of Departure, it was a Deportation Order. A34 is on the admissibility part, but no criminality or detention or anything. It was misrepresentation that was committed though.

On the website, it’s saying I need to apply for an eTA first, and then they’ll give me instructions for how to apply for an ARC. I applied, but they never informed me on how to apply for an ARC. What do I do?

I am heartbroken. I miss Canada so much.

Can you double check?

Arrests, detentions and removals - Removal from Canada
If you get a Certificate of Departure, maybe you are determined to leave voluntarily. Take a look at the date of the certificate.

This is what I got from Copilot:
A Certificate of Departure is a historical document that certifies your willing departure from Canada before a deportation. If you receive a Departure Order in Canada, you are required to leave Canada within 30 days. When leaving Canada, you will need to verify your departure with an immigration officer at the border or port of exit. Upon verifying your departure, you will receive a Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056B) from the officer.

If you applied for eTA and did you get your eTA approved? Because if you are in admissible, you should get instructions on how to apply for an ARC.

Yes, it says deportation order on it.

I did not get my eTA approved. According to the law, I am inadmissible, but I still haven’t gotten any instructions.
