Deported from US Applying for Canada student visa

[lee121]

Hello! Hope everyone is well. I already have my documents and had plans of lodging my visa application for student permit again. (refusal was due to purpose of visit and proposed studies not reasonable in light of qualifications..)

Unfortunately, I attempted to enter USA very recently and got deported under SECTION 235(B)(1) OF THE ACT from my visit 3 years ago.

GCMS Notes does not mention anything about misinterpretation or such and only mentions my program of choice/career progression.
How will this affect my re-application? I will be declaring the refused entry on the form

US deportations generally reduce your chances of getting a Canadian study permit approved. But nothing you can do about that. Declare all of your refusals / deportations and then provide a strong application otherwise (i.e. showing ties to home country, proper choice of studies, enough funds, etc.).

Thank you so much. I spoke with a US border control officer and he said it wasn’t going to affect my application but I know they have shared immigration so I’m very hesitant. I guess applying is the only way to find out.

US border control officers can't really comment on Canadian processes. They are in a different country and have no involvement in IRCC application processing.

Anyway - you are right. No choice but to apply, declare the deportation, and hope for the best.

Make sure you are pursuing a strong course of study in Canada and at a good university. That will help your case. If you have a bachelor degree, then you should be taking a master's. If you have a master's, then you should be taking another master's or PhD.

Hi again Scylla. Do you think hiring an immigration lawyer can help in my case? Will that increase the chances of the approval of my student visa?

A lawyer will help you to put your application together.

The simple fact of having a lawyer doesn't increase your chances of approval.
