I was voluntary departed from USA, willing to work in Canada

[achien]

hai everyone,

first of all, happy holiday..

on 2011, my asylum case was dismissed in USA, and I granted voluntary departure. I came home to my country on time and reported to local USA embassy, I have no banned, and no overstayed and no criminal record either.
I studied in Singapore for 9 months after that, on December 2011 applied visa to go Canada, it got refused. I was honest to Canada Conculate, I think either my financial or voluntary departed are the problem.

Anw, I got a job in Edmonton, and they will sponsor me to come to Canada. This is what I'm afraid of. Am I eligible to apply work permit in Canada after my background in USA?
I have emailed the Canada Consulat and this is what they returned to me.

I mean, the Officers always says welcome to apply, but is there big chance I will get refused (again)? Am I still eligible for working permit?
Please help me, so I can be ready for the worst. Thank you!!!

Pretty good chance of a refusal. Your refugee claim in the US demonstrated that you wanted to remain permanently. Canada is going to look at you application and say, there is a very good chance that s/he will remain after the WP expires.

my impression to this is the visa office is delighted to see applicants of telling before hand the background an applicant has. this is a positive move to start and they are understanding to accommodate without being biased to whatever happened to the other country will also happen to them...this is my one cent take!
