US BSN graduate deported, need information on relocating to canada

[mo0nlessnights]

Hello everyone. I have a question about police clearance since I was told from another website that since I  was deported, I would have a hard time getting a visa to ANY country. Is this true? Thank you for all of your help and time! God Bless! = )

I have been living in the United States since I was 5 years old and I am 23 now. I graduated from UNLV with a BSN degree on August 2008. A week after, immigration came to my house and arrested me and my family for overstaying our visa's. I spent two months in jail before finally being deported. I do not blame my family for my unfortunate situation. Even though I had nothing to do with the case since I was a minor at the time, I was labeled a fugitive and as a result have been exiled for ten years. I love my family, they  put me through school and now that I have finished, I am their only hope left.

I only found out about my status during my final semester of nursing school. I told my parents I needed to send fingerprints in to take the exam. The revelation that I did not have status came as a shock. Suffice to say, my last semester was quite stressful. I was afraid to speak to attorneys because I did not want to put my family at risk, so I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. When I was detained, I never had the chance to speak to a judge.

I am living in the Philippines now and im still trying to adjust. I plan to relocate to Canada to work as an RN over there but I do not even know where to start.
If anyone has information and is willing to share please do so. I am stuck in a rut and am in need of some real help. Thank you all for your time and God Bless. I do not have readily available internet access as I must go to cafes to log in so I may not respond right away. Thank you all again for your help.

You have done nothing that would exclude you from coming to Canada,Why dont you come to Canada and practice as a nurse here,Become a Immigrant to Canada under our PNP,look up www.futuresearchcanada.com or www.ugnayanfoundation.com. Speaking as a goverment employee Canada is a compassionate country and nothing you did excludes you from immigrating

mo0n; it was a mistake that you didn't talk to a lawyer. there's a provision in the US immigration law that if you've been in the US for more than 10 yrs., they can't just deport you. anyway, there's nothing that you can do anymore since your in the Philippines now.

one good thing is, you were able to finish a nursing course which is one of the most in-demand career in Canada. you still have a great future ahead of you. start from what BCguy have advise you, he's one of the great adviser on this forum.

good luck.
