Exclusion order issued 20 years ago

[LeeVe1234]

Hi everyone,
My father was issued an exclusion order in 2002 when he left canada voluntarily due to 15 days delay from his visa expiry date. He was banned to reenter canada for 1 year.There was no biometric at that point and his passport number has also changed since then. Would canadian immigration would still have his records. What should be the way forward.
ps: I am PR in canada.

Birthdate still the same
Name still the same

Yes, they will still have these records. Failing to declare this in an application now could result in a 5 year misrepresentation ban.

If your father is applying for any sort of visa to Canada, then he should simply declare this exclusion order in his application (along with any other refusals from other countries he may have). As long as he declares this history, there shouldn't be an issue given how long ago this was.

this was in 2002 …20 years ago. Do you think applying through the immigration lawyer will make the case more strong. I want to avoid rejection considering this scenario. Also,he doesn’t have any other rejection from any country.

You mean 2002? 2012 was 10 years ago, not 20.

Applying through an immigration lawyer doesn't make your case stronger - they help you to put the application together. If you feel more comfortable working with a lawyer, you can certainly do that.

Thank you for your prompt response. Yes i meant 2002. Any suggestions on the application submission considering his exclusion history that will help?

Strong ties to the home country will be important.
