Visitors visa with exclusion order

In that case it's hard to say if you'll be approved. You will want to demonstrate very strong ties to your home country for the TRV to be approved (e.g. employment, property, assets). Overstaying a student visa shows an abuse of a past visa privilege and you'll need to work hard to convince IRCC that you're a genuine visitor who will follow the rules this time. Recommend you keep the trip very short (2 weeks max).
I’m no expert but the main point on trvs is to prove to Canada that you will abide by their rules and honor the conditions of your visa. Meaning mainly return back home on time. That and have the ability to support yourself while here.
You have shown once that you did not honor their conditions.

There's always some hope. Impossible for any of us to tell you what your chances are of success. You'll have to apply and see what happens.
The "Exclusion Order" is no longer an issue per se, assuming that a Certificate of Departure was obtained. If it wasn't, things get a little more difficult .

2. Exclusion Order (form number IMM 1214B)
- If you were issued an Exclusion Order and
- 12 months have passed since you left Canada and
- you have a Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056B) showing the date you left Canada
- If you wish to return to Canada less than 12 months after the Exclusion Order was issued, or do not have a Certificate of Departure, you need to apply for an ARC.
Okay there are so many abbreviations in that comment and I didn't understand them all. I don't think I have one of those "certificate of departure" but am very sure I left the day I was asked to even had to confirm it with CBSA officer. Besides it's been almost 3yrs since I left Canada.
How long exactly did you overstay? How was the overstay caught / how were you issued the exclusion order?
Overstayed by like 3 days. An officer came to my house we went down to the immigration office I did the best I could to explain why I had overstayed but they weren't buying non of it they said I had to go. They booked a flight for me and told me when to be at the airport which was were I was given a copy of the exclusion order.
OK, let's simplify it
If you were issued a formal "Exclusion Order" and you did not obtain a "Certificate of Departure" when you left Canada, you can't prove when you left. You therefore not only need a visitors visa but also an "Authorization to Return to Canada", which adds to your workload. You will also have to pay for removal, if CBSA paid for the return flight. CAD 1500, if I remember correctly.
