Hi everyone.
I was in the US on visit visa and applied to asylum. It was denied and now I'm back in my home country. I over stayed on US visa and have 10 years ban now.
I'm getting married to a Canadian citizen now. My question is 'am I eligible for Canadian spouse visa?, What difficulties I may face through out the Canadian immigration process? Do I need to get FBI report from US or any other reports?

FBI report - yes you need this.

Your application will undergo thorough review as it is very indicative of marriage of convenience.

That means as long as I can prove that the marriage is legitimate then I will be fine?
Of course.

Do not forget to declare all your circumstances to cic i.e. overstay, asylum refusal.

To what extent do CIC has information from US immigration records? just wondering
"When a third-country national applies to Canada for a visa or a permit, or claims asylum, Canada will send an automated request for data to the United States. The request will contain limited information, such as name and date of birth in the case of biographic sharing, or an anonymous fingerprint in the case of biometric sharing. If the identity matches that on a previous application, immigration information may be shared, such as whether the person has previously been refused a visa or removed from the other country. All information shared as part of the initial request will be automatically purged from U.S. systems regardless of whether a match has been found.

The same process would apply in reverse when a third-country national applies to the U.S. for a visa or claims asylum.

Biographic immigration information sharing is set to begin in 2013, and biometric sharing in 2014."

They share everything with each other. Do not misrepresent anything. Just be honest.

Yes - they share historical information.

You need to be 100% honest about your past immigration records.

Be aware that once you have Canadian PR (even Canadian citizenship), the 10 year ban will still apply - it doesn't go away when you become Canadian. Do not attempt to re-enter the US for the 10 year period. The US takes these bans extremely seriously.

Of course. They can dig up records from way, way back. As scylla said, be 100% honest.

What are the chances of getting a tourist/visit visa to Canada if honestly tell about history of applying for asylum in the US, denied asylum, removal proceedings, 10 yr bar etc.?

Zero chance. You need to forget about visiting and have your Canadian spouse sponsor you for PR as soon as you're married. Once the PR visa is approved - you'll be able to come to Canada.

unlikely this sponsorship will not be scrutized heavily, this is a redflag of marriage of convenience, you will need to really prove how you met each other and how you build the relationship, it will be a hard battle to show it is true marriage and not for immigration only. Marriage of convenience if found even after become citizen later has serious consequences including deportation and life time ban
