Deported from USA

[Andre13]

absolutely wrong. As long as he mentions he was deported, and satisfies other criteria and passes the background checks, he will be ok.

There are hundreds of thousands who were illegal in USA, and obtained Canadian PR. As long as he does not have a criminal record in USA, he will be fine. But he must declare it as CIC has access to US systems to verify.

Excuse me, do you personally know such people? Where do you get this info from? I would appreciate if you could answer.

Oh really, I love your baseless theory.

LOL "you are not eligible for temp visa but you are eligible for PR)

Is that some kind of joke?

Permanent residency criteria is different than TEMP, therefore it doesn't matter if you had overstayed/been deported from US or any other country as long as you meet criteria and don't have FBI record. I researched this many times before applied for EE, talk to lawyers both US and Canada, all said that my status/deportation order will not affect PR process.

Call up some lawyers and you will find out yourself.

Lots of past examples on this forum. Being in the US illegally doesn't prevent you from immigrating to Canada provided you are 100% honest about your immigration history in your application. Of course you still have to qualify for immigration just like anyone else. This typically is quite a bit more difficult if you've been in a country for a long time without status since I'm not certain that CIC will count work experience that was gained illegally. But technically it's 100% possible to immigrate and we've certainly seen examples here.

As others have said, different story for temporary work permits, visitor visas and study permit. All of these will be refused if someone who is illegal applies.

But you should disclose your past immigration history in order not to get into further trouble, right?

CIC counts all work experience if you have proof of it, doesn't matter if you illegal, i read it on CIC website, but if you work illegally in Canada work experience won't count.

Correct, if you answer YES to any statutory questions you will have to explain why you answered YES and i think later in post AOR stage you will be requested schedule A if i'm correct.

Thank you for your response. I'm grateful that you have taken the time to answer the question.
You said that there have been people on this forum who successfully immigrated to Canada despite their previous violations and overstays in other countries. In cases like the one of volodyalusak (the guy right above this post), one stays in the US without authorization for a certain period of time and then immigrates to Canada, which only proves what you have written here. However, my question is whether it will be possible to move to Canada on a FSW
from some other country. If volodyalusak submits his immigration application, the people working for the Canadian immigration service understand that the guy has an intend to stay in Canada. But what if one has an overstay in the US, goes to the home country and only then applies for the FSW visa from there. Don't you think the CIC will suspect that person of desire to use Canada as a middle ground and repeat what he did in the US again?

Hello?

Can you share the link of this website that your are referring to? I’ll appreciate it.

Guys,

Would unauthorised employment for 1 year in a country other than Canada lead to rejection of Canada PR? No criminal record and left voluntarily after 1 year as soon as temporary visa expired, did not overstay. I won’t hide it as I am going to be transparent about it in personal history, but what can be expected of my application because of this disclosure. @DelPiero07 , seniors and friends, kindly advice.

It’ll have no effect on your PR application, as long as there’s no misrepresentation.

Thank you for your prompt response. Would like to get thoughts of other seniors too. @TanakaM
