Hello there i was issued an exclusion order back in 2013 and was deported with a one year ban now almost 10 years later I did an eta so I could visit Canada again and I waited for 7 months for a response has to why I never got refused or approved they attached a letter to my email used on the application for me to pay the removal fees cost and gave me a deadline ? till 04/11/22 I payed them on 26/10/22 and emailed them the official receipt and uploaded to my CIC account it has been over 2 weeks still no answer no decision. They confirmed I didn't need no ARC only the fees to proceed with my application can someone shine some light why it is taking ages to approve

Unfortunately processing times are quite slow right now and there's a backlog of applications. It may take 3-4 months (possibly more) to hear back after you paid the fees.
OMG im so screwed .. all of that for nothing . Since i payed the removal fees if I did a new eta would I be approved right way or would be the same ?
Don't submit another eTA application. There's no point. It won't be processed until there's a decision on the first one.
You might get lucky and hear back soon. Impossible for any of us to say.
Good luck.
Thank you for responding so soon I have my wifes and kids ETA's approved just wanted to show them the country I fell in love I traveled when I was 13 to Canada overstayed and got deported back when I was 19
. Can they refuse my application now that I payed or will I be approved ? Cause other than overstaying my visa I didn't have no criminal offenses in or out of Canada ?The eTA can still be refused. Having said that, it's certainly in your favour that the removal was a long time ago.Thank you for responding so soon I have my wifes and kids ETA's approved just wanted to show them the country I fell in love I traveled when I was 13 to Canada overstayed and got deported back when I was 19
I spent my hard earned money paying those fees trust me it was 1500 Canadian and cause I only received 1 year ban and they confirmed I didn't need an ARC I thought the refused was out of question now you have made me blink faster than light
Approval is entirely possible and the more likely outcome, just not guaranteed. There's really nothing you can do but wait and hope for the best.I spent my hard earned money paying those fees trust me it was 1500 Canadian and cause I only received 1 year ban and they confirmed I didn't need an ARC I thought the refused was out of question now you have made me blink faster than light
Part of the fees you paid were to repay the costs of the flight to remove you from Canada which was covered by Canadian tax payers. So you probably won't get a ton of sympathy for that here. (Just being honest.)
A lil harsh but sadly the truth I just hope all the work I had at least compensates made many emails and day by day constantly checking for an answer it has take a toll on me but your right I will wait now has I can't don't nothing more let's pray I get approved. Thank you I will post if I have further info.
Good luck and let us know how it goes. It's certainly in your favour that this was a long time ago.

Unfortunately this doesn't really tell you anything, other than the fact that your application is still in progress.
Exactly just the application status in progress NEVER had that and has I mention they first gave me that response after they attached a letter requesting the removal fees in order to process my application I just can figure it out why they keep hunting me with the same messages ... It's like a rollercoaster . I think they will refuse it. Guess they didn't think I would pay that amount.
Sorry, I'm not sure I'm following.
I don't think this by default means they will refuse your application.
All non-standard applications are taking months to process right now. This is normal. Entirely possible you'll get approved. It's just hard to say how long you may be waiting.
