U.S. and Canada are separate countries, each with its own laws. The laws of the U.S. have no effect on Canada's immigration decisions, and vice versa.
You were not deported from Canada - you tried to enter as a refugee and you were denied. Being denied entry is not the same as deportation. Deportation from Canada would have implied a violation of Canadian immigration laws. Entry Denial is NOT a violation of any Canadian immigration law; so you did not violate any immigration law of Canada - they just said to you at that time - "Sorry, you're not welcome to enter as a refugee."
However, if and when you go for an interview, please, please, please - tell them exactly what happened at the border. This information will in no way affect your PR application - as other applicants have been denied entry into Canada but have successfully immigrated to Canada.
Hello,
Will it make any effect to my interview?
I was deported from USA to Pakistan in 2005,
Here how it goes.
While living in USA, I applied for Canadian Immigration under Skilled Worker (islamabad office) in 2003.
Out of desperation and stress from US expired Status, i tried to enter Canada as a Refugee. but i was turnd Back from the Border after a long interview with a Refugee board.
Canadain immigration Handed me over US Immigration at the border.
Due to expired Status in States and Order of Deportation was already released i was arrested and kept in a Detention Center till i was deported back to Pakistan.
Now i am living in Pakistan and finally Canadian Consulated have asked for updated Documents.(means interview date is very near)
My Question is, Deportation + Attempt to enter Canada will effect my CASE?
All responses will be appreciated.
Thank You
