A protected person client has received a notification from the Minister regarding an application to vacate their refugee status. The client asks an RCIC about the possible consequence if the vacation is granted.

A departure order allows an individual to leave Canada voluntarily within a specified timeframe, but it does not apply in cases where a person's refugee status has been vacated. Instead, a departure order is more relevant to individuals who choose to leave voluntarily rather than being forcibly removed, which would not be the case here.

An exclusion order with a 1-year ban is typically issued for individuals who are inadmissible to Canada for specific reasons, such as criminality. This option is not applicable when refugee status is vacated, as the correct consequence is a deportation order rather than a temporary exclusion.

Similar to the 1-year ban, an exclusion order with a 5-year ban is issued under different circumstances, such as serious criminal offenses or violations of immigration laws. However, when a refugee's status is vacated, they face deportation rather than exclusion, making this choice incorrect.
