U.S. citizen married to Mexican Citizen

[rortiz]

My husband was deported from the U.S. before we got married. We are currently living seperately becuase of so much violence in Juarez, Chih. MX. He lives in Mex. and i live in the U.S. We are wondering if his felony/U.S. deportation will prevent us from immigrating into Canada? Can we apply from seperate countries and wait for the fastest response or does it have to be one application?
HELP!!!

If his only crime was an illegal alien in the US,He can apply for rehabilitation at the same time you apply for canadian PR

He was deported in 1996 for intent of importation of marijuana (federal crime), we got married, lived in Mexico, he obtained his BA in Computer Systems Analyst in Mex. I obtained my Masters in bilingual education in the U.S. The violence became too much in the city of Juarez so I left Mex. and came to my hometown in the U.S. He then followed. He was then caught under one of the many "police checkpoints" and did some time for illigal re-entry which is also federal.
??? Will he be asked for a police record in his own country of Mexico and the U.S or just Mexico????

In general, you and everyone in your family who is 18 years of age or over (16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) need to obtain a police certificate. You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.

The certificate must have been issued no more than three months before you submit your application.

With a conviction for importation , his chances of obtaining Canadian PR are close to nil. It is a Schedule II drug and on conviction in Canada maximum sentence is life. So he cannot even apply for rehabilitation until 10 years have passed since the end of his sentence.
