I don't think there are any specific additional requirements, but it's very unlikely they will issue you a visitor visa after you've been deported previously. Most likely they will think you will try to remain in Canada, and so not issue the visa.

You have to applied for Authorized Return to Canada (ARC) As returning as a visitor after deportation, almost impossible. But you can apply. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english//resources/manuals/enf/enf06-eng.pdf page 30
