Hello,
Had an exclusion order from Canada couple of years ago for overstay (no criminal record, left voluntarily), now want to go study in Canada, but the program I want to apply for requires Police Record Check, so my question is will be my exclusion order shown in that record or not?
Thanks
Was it an Exclusion order, or a departure order, because there is a big difference
Departure order: A departure order[/color] requires that the person leave Canada within 30 days after the order becomes enforceable.
Exclusion order: A person who has been removed as a result of an exclusion order cannot return to Canada for one year unless the written permission of the CBSA is obtained. However, people who are issued exclusion orders for misrepresentation cannot return for two years without written authorization from the CBSA.
Deportation order: A person who has been removed as a result of a deportation order is permanently barred from returning to Canada. Such people may never return unless they receive written permission from the CBSA.
All three removal orders require the person concerned to confirm his or her departure from Canada with the CBSA.
A departure order automatically becomes a deportation order when someone who has been issued a departure order does not leave Canada as required or leaves Canada without confirming his or her departure with the CBSA.
Departure and exclusion orders are usually issued for less serious violations.
If a person is issued a removal order and files a claim for refugee protection, the removal order does not come into force until the claim has been decided. If the claim for protection is accepted, the removal order is cancelled. Unsuccessful claimants who had conditional departure orders issued against them must leave Canada within 30 days of the date of the final determination of the claim or the order becomes enforceable.
In all cases, the individuals and their authorized representatives are informed of the reasons for the removal and are given a copy of the removal order. Family members in Canada who are dependants of the person subject to a removal order may be included in the removal order provided they are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents 19 years of age or over.
As long as you followed what the order says that you were given I cant see it being a problem, unless it was a deprtation, then its a whole new set of ules. and because your applying through a visa the correct way to enter, then I really cant see it being a problem. You will have to tell them on the application what you were given, it wont show up on the police record you get from your own country. Not sure about Canada, but unless they ask for a police check for Canada you dont need to get one.
Hope that helps. ;D
