Hi Good night. I was Sent back to my country because I overstayed in Canada. I am trying to go back for medical reasons, my son who is Canadian born is really sick and he needs to see a neurologist. Is it possible I’d be granted entry? Where I’m from there aren’t any neurologist.

How long ago was the deportation?
If the deportation was farily recent, the chances that you will be approved are unfortunately extremely low because of the overstay and deportation.
If you want to return to Canada as a visitor, you will need to apply for a TRV. As part of the TRV, you will also need to obtain an ARC (authorization to return to Canada) because you were deported. This will cost an additional $400 in fees and you will also have to repay the costs of the flight used to deport you (assuming the goverment of Canada paid for this flight rather than you). As part of the TRV application, you will want to include very strong evidence of your ties to your home country (property, job, assets) to prove that you will not overstay in Canada again.
You should assume it will be very difficult to get a TRV since you overstayed in Canada previously and a deportation order was issued against you. Once you have abused visa privileges and not followed the rules, it's generally very difficult to get a visa again in the future. However you can certainly try applying and see what happens. Expect longer than normal processing times since you will have to go through the ARC processing since there was a deportation order issued against you. You should have a back up plan in place in the event you are refused. For example, is there anyone you know who is Canadian or has a valid Canadian TRV who can take your son to Canada instead of you?
Note that since your son will be a returning resident to Canada, he will not qualify for health care coverage for the first three months he is in Canada after he returns. You will have to pay for any health care he receives during the first three months he is here.
Good luck.
What country do you live in? Are you sure he needs a neurologist? How long have his symptoms been going on? His symptoms don’t necessarily mean it is neurological.Has he seen other doctors that have said he needs to see a neurologist. Is there a neighbouring country that may provide an assessment. Do you have friends or family in Canada? Can you afford to support you and your son in Canada while waiting for medical coverage and an assessment? You wouldn’t qualify for financial support.
