Hi everyone,
Thanks for your time in advance, if you make some time to read my post!
l was a master degree student in Berlin/Germany.
At the beginning l was doing good, but with time passes, my father become severely ill and l lost him to the cancer after the long painful journey.lt was during the Covid in summer semester of 2020..l have also lost my grandparents. All these incidents took a toll from me and l became severely depressed and l could not past most of my classes in 2019 and 2020. However, l did retake them and succesfully completed some of them, and l was doing research practice and working on my thesis expose when my study permit(residence permit) was about the expire. l had applied for extension, however, my previous insufficient progress caused a refusal and l was given time to leave Germany. l obeyed the decision and voluntarily left within the given time frame.

After l got back to my home country(which is Türkiye), l had relatively more stable life and social support. So l completed the classes l failed during my stay in Germany(it was still Covid time and most of the classes were online). Now l am working on my thesis expose, so if my department allows me to complete and defense my thesis from Turkey, l will complete my degree .
ln the meantime, since Türkiye does not recognize my degree, since l will be completing my degree from distance in Türkiye( Turkey does not recognize degress finished outside the country of the original department/degree), l will also register my second masters degree in Türkiye in upcoming semester and l will pursue my PhD afterwards.

However, my specialization field is not common in Turkey so l would need to improve myself better with the post-doc in Canada(UK, Australia, Canada is the best option for me) or at least l would need Visa to attend to international meetings/seminar or projects to keep up with the international works in my field.
ls having that sort of badmark/immigration history in Germany/Europe on my file hinders my success of Visa applications to Canada?

Has anyone here experienced something similar and were able to secure Canadian Visa?
P.S:l do not have criminal record and do not have entry ban to Germany.

You declare visa refusals and overstays. As long as you are honest and don’t misrepresent then it should not be an issue. Getting a study permit will depend on your funds, justify costs with program, and ties to return. Same for a visitor visa.

Thanks for your prompt reply. l will of course disclose it. However since l have departure order rather than visa refusal(outside of the country), l feel like it will haunt me for my Canadian Visa application.

You will not know until you apply but be honest.
