Thanks for taking the time to respond i really appreciate it. Money is not really a issue since i am currently studying my MBA and do consulting work and have mostly worked for myself. I can pay for my ticket and i have enough for a couple years rent. I can afford an attorney if it will help i dont mean to be franc its that the few ones i called so far told me just show up try and contact them if i get rejected. Money can only go so far. i would like to have a real job, i would like to not live in fear of the government one day (maybe under trump agian) take my house and or posessions in the us just becuase i am illegal. I am afraid i can be seperate from my partner (an american) and my future children if i stay. I spoke to a us immigration lawyer years ago and due to my status ( entered illegaly at 6 months of age without inspection ) and not meeting the daca requirement i would be facing a lifetime ban if i left possibly and appeal would be next to impossible they reccomened canada to me since it is very similar culturally and i can speak english and french. I cant lie nor do i want to lie to canada immigration officals my passport clearly was issued in the us by a mexican consulate which can be seen on the biometric page. I am not sure if this may just make me inadmissible under express entry . I see the approval rates of asylum from mexico are much lower then other countries. I am not sure if any of this matters but the goverment has discriminated agianst me denieing me acess to my documents and femecide is a major issue in mexico making it unsafe for a single women if i were to be sent back given i have no family there. I understand i need to go to mexico to fly to canada now that roxham rd is closed.
Sorry this is a really long rant and my mind is all over the place , after talking it over with my partner even if he cant make it to canada with me we decided it was best and most safe i end up in canada then in mexico. I just want to make sure i am making the right descisions and i dont want to screw this up. I am by no means rich enough for some kind of golden visa thing but i can afford what i need and then some
Tldr My family entered without inspection and did not apply for asylum and i been in the us since i was 6 months old so about 28 years
An asylum claim in Canada would be a very bad choice for you - honestly a horrible decision. The grounds for your claim are extremely weak given you really haven't lived there at all. The issues you are describing are generic dangers in Mexico - there's no personal threat to you individually. You have no case. Additionally, you need an eTA to fly to Canada and I don't see how there is any chance at all an eTA is going to be approved given your status in the US. IMO coming to Canada and claiming asylum is a complete non-starter. Let's say you're somehow able to get the eTA approved and claim asylum, that will ultimately result in a refusal and a deportation to Mexico - then you'll be stuck there for who knows how long before you can sort out your next steps. Honestly, the whole asylum thing is a very bad plan.
There is nothing stopping you from applying for Express Entry while out of status in the US. Why not go ahead with your plan to apply under EE as you've described, but remain in the US to take all of the language tests there, etc. There is nothing stopping you from being approved under EE while out of status in the US as long as you are 100% truthful about your immigration history in your EE application. ***Make sure you are 100% truthful in all of your answers to Canada, including the eTA if you decide to apply. Otherwise you can expect a 5 year ban from Canada for misrepresentation.
One thing you should be aware of is that you will be automatically banned from re-entering the US for 10 years as soon as you leave (this includes if you are successful with the EE application and get PR). Even once you get Canadian citizenship, the 10 year ban will still apply. So you must be prepared to leave the US and not return for a decade.
Again, best option right now is to remain in the US and apply for EE from there, then come to Canada once your EE application is approved.
