Canadian Border Security (CBSA) Practice Exam

What type of removal order is issued when a person is barred from entering Canada for a specified period?

1. Departure

2. Exclusion

3. Deportation

4. Non-admission

The correct answer is: Exclusion

The type of removal order issued when a person is barred from entering Canada for a specified period is referred to as an exclusion order. This order generally applies to individuals who are found to be inadmissible to Canada for various reasons during a border screening or when they arrive at a point of entry. When an exclusion order is put in place, it specifies a duration during which the individual is not allowed to enter Canada, effectively serving as a form of punishment for the grounds of inadmissibility. In contrast, a departure order requires individuals to leave Canada and gives them a period (usually up to 30 days) to do so voluntarily before the order is enforced. A deportation order is more severe, often issued after individuals have been found inadmissible post-appeal processes or when they have overstayed their status. Non-admission is not a formal type of removal order but rather describes a general state where someone is not allowed to enter Canada at the time of their attempt to do so. Thus, the exclusion order is the only option that explicitly outlines a specified duration of inadmissibility.
