Unenforceable removal order and delays of deportation
There are a variety of reasons that can prevent a removal order from being enforced or delay the deportation order, including but not limited to :
- Appeals and legal proceedings: appealing the removal order.
- Administrative deferral of removals (ADR) : ADR is temporary measure, put in place within a short period of time to immediately respond to a change in country conditions. Once the situation in a country stabilizes the ADR is lifted and the removal order become enforceable. An ADR is currently in place for :

- the Gaza Strip,
- syria,
- Mali,
- the Central African Republic,
- South Sudan,
- Libya,
- Yemen,
- Burundi,
- Venezuela, and
- Haiti.
- certain regions in Somalia (Middle Shabelle, Afgoye, and Mogadishu),
- Temporary suspension of removals (TSR): The TSR program interrupts removals to a country or place when general conditions pose a risk to the entire civilian population. Examples: armed conflict or an environmental disaster resulting in disruption of living conditions. Canada currently has a TSR in place for:
- Afghanistan,
- the Democratic Republic of Congo, and
- Iraq.
- Afghanistan,
NOTE: An individual who is not allowed into Canada on grounds of criminality, international or human rights violations, organized crime, or security can still be removed despite the ADR or the TSR
