Deportation

[Brendasgamboni]

hey guys! So I recentley got deported from the United States in April. I’m 22 I’m alone my whole families in the United States. I’m from Argentina but I didn’t like it so I moved to Mexico. I’ve lived my whole life in the US but I got deported because I over stayed my visa & I didn’t exactly know. I arrived into the US when I was 4 with my parents. I’m in Cancun, Mexico currently, but I don’t feel safe here I’m alone & I’ve been wanting to apply for my Canadian visa. Would my deportation be a problem? I know I have misdemeanors from the US but they’re just traffic tickets nothing major. I really would also like to study in Canada. Would any of this be a problem if I do apply for a Canadian visa?

The short answer is yes - your deportation will certainly be a problem. Since you have a recent deportation and lived in the US without status for quite a long time (I'm assuming), the chances of any sort of temporary visa (including a study permit) being approved for Canada are pretty much nil. If you qualify, you can apply to immigrate to Canada. Your deportation won't hold you back from applying for that. However any sort of temporary visa (study permit, work permit, visitor visa) will be out of the question.

Yes - I'm very familiar with DACA. Unfortunately this doesn't change the answer. I still believe your chances of getting a study permit approved are effectively zero. Having said that, you can certainly try. If you decide to apply, you'll need to demonstrate strong ties to your home country to prove you have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. So you should relocate back to Argentina as soon as possible to establish ties. You'll also need to demonstrate that you have enough funds available to cover first year tuition and living expenses - this means demonstrating an available bank balance of at least $25,000.
