A client became a PR as a protected person. After travelling to their country of origin, they are now subject to a vacation application before the RPD. The client asks what consequence they would face if the application were granted.

A departure order is issued when a person is required to leave Canada but does not directly correlate with the granting of a vacation application for a protected person. The vacation application focuses on the individual's status rather than enforcing immediate departure, making this option incorrect in this context.

While it is possible for a client who has returned to their country of origin to be subject to investigations, this is not a direct consequence of the vacation application being granted. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) typically investigates security concerns, but granting a vacation application does not inherently trigger an investigation, thus making this option incorrect.

A monetary penalty is not a standard consequence associated with the vacation application process. The implications of either losing PR status or facing other legal actions do not typically involve financial penalties, making this choice incorrect.
