I’m thinkin’ “one-way bus tickets to Ottawa...”

I don’t think this is accurate. Deportations don’t automatically follow from an initial denial of refugee status. There are multiple layers of appeal and there is a massive backlog of cases. There is the initial intake and processing, then a hearing before the Refugee Protection Division, then an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division. You can then appeal to the Federal Court of Canada, then the Federal Court of Appeal. Given the current influx of claimants the refugee appeal process is swamped. If you have a semi-competent lawyer you can delay deportation for many years.
