My application is in the express entry pool, and my employers are willing to apply for a closed work permit in Canada. This year, when I went for H1B stamping(Work visa of USA), I was told since I was involved with Sham company they cannot give me a visa and imposed a permanent ban from entering the USA. Reason for getting the ban: I took an offer letter from a company that was later found to be a scam company by the USCIS. Will this affect my express entry and work permit application even if I mention this ban in my application?

Is your current employer(who's open for WP) the same sham company?

You'll need to declare the refusal and ban in your EE application, assuming you are selected and get ITA.

It's quite possible IRCC may look at your application more closely so you'll want to make sure all of your work experience is 100% genuine if you want any future in Canada.

I am not sure about the work permit part, but from the advice I see here previous rejections (even from Canada), won't impact EE profile once you get an ITA.
I got a permanent ban from the USA due to willful misrepresentation as I took an offer letter from a sham company. This won't affect my PR application right?

Yes, I will mention everything truthfully. Thanks for the advice

As Scylla said, they can do enhanced check while doing your verification, but it doesn't impact your application post ITA if you are being truthful.

What about when I apply for a closed work permit?

Same answer. Make sure you declare the refusal / ban and give the reason. You can expect your application to be reviewed more closely since you faked work experience documents.
