You can certainly return if you successfully apply and are approved under a permanent residency program like Express Entry. As part of the process, you will need to go through the ARC process since you were deported to Canada - this will take additional processing time. Because you have to go through the ARC process, wait time from the time you apply will likely be anywhere from 9 months to a couple of years.

The first step is to determine if you qualify under one of the economic immigration streams. I would recommend that you start with Express Entry. You need 470+ points to be selected out of the pool. If you don't have enough point, you'll need to look into the PNP programs.

Note that you cannot count any of the work experience you gained while in Canada under refugee status towards your PR application. Also note that if the government of Canada paid for your flight to deport you, you will need to repay these costs as part of the ARC process in addition to the $400 ARC fee.

Just wanted to clarify--were you actually served with a 'deportation' order? If you complied with the request to leave Canada within 30 days, it would have mostly like been a 'departure' order. If that's the case, you would not need to apply/pay for an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC). This link may be useful in understanding the categories of CBSA's removal orders.

1. Read the OP's post, he was denied in Jan/18 didn't leave until Jun/18. longer than 30 days, so removal order becomes deportation.

Thanks for pointing that out. I missed the part about the date of refusal being Jan '18, so yes the departure order would have become a deportation order.
