marriage fraud

[on-hold]

but it also doesnt necessarily mean i will get denied either, am i right? rsvp.

Not really -- but the thing about applying through marriage, the Visa Officer gets to make their own decision as to whether the marriage is genuine or not, which is based on subjective criteria. Being deported from the United States for a felony is the kind of history that makes the VO look hard for a reason to turn someone down . . .

Remember, we're talking about 'felony' in the abstract here. What is the particular classification of yours? Is it a felony of violence, extortion, fraud, what? The prospects for rehabilitation are going to vary, based upon what the punishment in Canada would be. Here's the link:

The big one that CIC will frown most upon is domestic violence (doesn't necessarily have to be just spouse). If you have be convicted of domestic violence then you the odds are very slim.

Canada would look extremely hard at anyone applying that has been permanently excluded from naturalization in the US, such as in your case. Basically, it would be assumed you intend to illegally immigrate to the US via Canada until you can prove otherwise.

Asking here for help on how to beat the system is an affront to those of us that are in genuine relationships longing to be with our partners.

You're a dodgy git and I hope you never set foot in Canada.

Nailed it. Even after the 10 years are up, and the person applies, they are gonna put em through the ringer for sure. Red flag? More like Glowing Waving Red Flag with Sparkling Glitter and a Rainbow Unicorn saying "look at me look at me!"....
