Is being asked to leave the same as deportation?
Depends on how you were "asked" to leave... More details?
 
Common law PR is waiting approval.
Last work permit expired, over stayed under 30 days. Lawyer explained had 30 days to apply for restoration visa/work permit which was refused. Order to leave immediately which i did and re entered. Border guard gave till jan 1 again to leave.

Question>>>>
How long should be out of Canada for till can try again? What recommended time?
Would having my common law partner with me and all prove of our relationship documentation prove a better case on re entry?
 
You left Canada under a departure order and then immediately re-entered? You're braver than I would have been...
I'm surprised that you were allowed in at all. I don't think anyone could guess on your chances next time as you are clearly on the "list" now.
