Deported from USA, I want to go to Canada

[meyakanor]

Surely this is going to be the determinative factor. Thank god Canada and the US don't share information.

The degree of information sharing between US and Canada is probably deeper than most people would expect.

I remember back in late 2013, one person I know did a flagpoling landing (it was still allowed back then), where he would go to the border, took a U-turn then re-entered Canada, all done without dealing with CBP at all. Not dealing with CBP notwithstanding, when he checked his I-94 record online, that date was recorded as an exit from the US!

Apparently, starting June 28 2013 (as part of Exit - Entry Initiative Phase II), any land entry of non-US, non-Canadian citizen to Canada would be shared with the CBP, and CBP would record this as an exit from the US, even if the said person never entered the US at all, nor dealing with the US border agent.

This was probably also the reason why U-turn flagpoling was no longer possible nowadays, probably to avoid this kind of confusion.

Most likely not. However we would need to know a lot more about the specific offence etc to determine if he might be inadmissible.
This is probably not a suitable place to be discussing a third-party criminal conviction. He should consult with a competent immigration lawyer to assist in determining his options.

I see, noted. Thank you so much for the reply

lol. yeah the amount of info sharing between the two countries is nuts. As a dual citizen, I know. Heck now all my financial accounts in Canada are automatically sent to the IRS because of FATCA.

There's no chance for him to come to Canada for at least five years (likely longer) after completing the jail sentence. If he completed the jail sentence very recently, then he needs to forget about Canada.

We need to be a bit cautious about this, as whatever offence has been committed may be perfectly legal in Canada. We just don't have enough information.

Generally I would agree. However this conviction resulted in a 2 year prison sentence as well as the green card status being revoked and the OP deported (which means this was classified as a felony). So it had to be something quite serious.
