Convention refugee application denied from another country now can i apply in CA

[sarumlee]

Hi,

In the past (2010) i apply for the refugee status in South Korea and unfortunately refused for "conventional refugee status" later in 2012 i was deported from South Korea because i was not legale at that time. My question is that!

Now i have to tell this story to IRB?
is there any affect on my refugee application in canada?

please advice me,
Thank You!

Yes, you should tell your complete story and make sure to make that clear in your application. It is one of the asked questions on the application.

It will not have any affect on the process of your application as you were not granted Asylum in any other country.

Thank you for the answer, that's true i was not granted refugee status just was an applicant.

Here i have one more question that until i am not become a conventional refugee is this possible to open a bank account? If yes then which papers i can provide to the bank officials.
