I don't think so. As long as you've not been convicted or a visa refusal is made on your passport for reasons stated in IM0008, I think you should be ok.

Well, this reflects my personal opinion. If you left that country by yourself even though you crossed the legal period of stay, then, no need to worry, but if you've been deported, i.e ordered to leave then you should have clicked (Yes) in the IM0008 form, to this specific question: "been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country?", and should have provided appropriate justification, accordingly.

Doing the above shall not be used for basis for inadmissibility.

however if you answered (No) to that specific question, then, you might be, unfortunately, become inadmissible for grounds of misrepresentation. It's likely that during background checks such deportion to be visible and reported to the Canadian authorities.

Nonetheless, I have to emphasize to everyone that inadmissibility because of misrepresentation is a decision that requires a higher authority than the visa officer him/herself, this is usually the operation or program manager. This might make visa officers double cautious before exercising that right.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Yes, you are right. I can't think of any way to do so, unless the CIC has a minimal list of countries for verification, but nothing on the IRPA, IRPR, OP, EG7 or VO's instructions mention this, to the best of my knowledge.

Good luck,
