The original poster (OP) asked, "Will this immigration history of USA can create problem for canadian immigration petetion?" And the answer is: No, it will not affect his application. He is no longer inside the country from which he was deported, but is currently applying from within his home country as a legal resident of that country.
Of course, the OP is aware of the fact that he must declare the fact that he was deported from another country - look at his question again - he is only worried whether such declaration will have a negative impact now that he is in his own country.
If the OP was still in the country from which he was deported when he applied for Canada immigration, then that will have a negative impact on his application.
All Canada wants to know is the truth and to make sure that an applicant already deported from a country is not applying from that country; otherwise, CIC will kindly deny the application and advise the applicant to go to his or her home country and apply from there.
Those "stories of people being caught re such cases 4/5-10 years after geting teir PR," are applicants who might NOT have declared the fact that they were deported from some other country at the time of their application.
But if the applicant makes the declaration of deportation and apply from his or her native country or another country of legal residence, backed by the fact that the applicant fulfills all other requirements, then the applicant will be successful in immigrating to Canada and would not encounter any problems later on based on his immigrant application.
Deportation is NOT a criminal offense. If an alien commits a crime like fraud, assault, DUI /DWI, robbery, etc, then any of these will be grounds for deportation also. Deportation is a violation of a country's immigration law, and it DOES not bar an applicant from Canadian immigration.
Whereas, a criminal offense would bar an applicant UNLESS the applicant can show he or she has been rehabilitated, and for Canadian immigration, the rehabilitation period after the crime was committed ranges from 5 to 10 years, depending on the crime.

Just like the other poster said, the answer is no, and the reason is Canada is a separate country from the U.S. The laws of the United States have no effect on Canadian soil.

i have applied for Canadian immigration under skilled category in 2002 from Pakistan. i score enough points to qualify for immigration. During 2003 to 2005 i lived in usa and have trouble with INS get caught and voluntarily departed to pakistan. Now my case is in final stage. Will this immigration history of USA can create problem for canadian immigration petetion?
but how could you say that?
in schedule-1, it asks whether you have been deported [required to leave] any country. it also asks about 4/5 other different visa types refusal. not only do you have to inform them about such things that have occured b4 your application was launched, but also after your application launch till a dicision is made.
after 4 years of application launch and even after my medicals I have infomed CIC about my confusion regarding such a matter. [I don't know whether I have done the right thing!!]
But I have heard stories of people being caught re such cases 4/5-10 years after geting teir PR. I don't wan't that tension to loom over my head while being in Canada.
thanks
