Deported from Canada, when can I possibly re-enter

[AprylTemi]

Hello there,

I was deported from Canada in 2016 due to an assylum case that was not accepted by the courts. It was initially a removal order but my lawyer advised me not to leave and of course it became a deportation order after 30 days. I attended undergrad in Canada and worked for 2 years before I had to leave in 2016. I am currently a medical student and would like to visit my brother who lives in BC and I was just wondering if I have any chance at all of being allowed back into the country..


Thanks

The honest truth is that it will likely be extremely difficult to return as a visitor due to the failed asylum claim and deportation.

You will need to start by applying for an ARC (authorization to return to Canada) and repaying the costs of the flight to remove you (if the government paid for this flight rather than you paying for it yourself).

Even with an approved ARC, the chances of a TRV being approved in the future are likely quite low based on your past history in Canada. I would not recommend applying anytime soon since your deportation is very recent. If you want to try to apply, I would wait a number of years and establish very very strong ties to your home country before attempting the TRV. But again, even then, the chances of refusal will be high.
