After 10 years living in Canada I was deported, now my options to ever returning there are minimal, I wanted to know if I ask for asylum in another country will they know I already ask for asylum in Canada and was rejected?
Thank you all, including any Canadians reading this, thank you for those 10 wonderful years I will never forget.

I think yes, cuz I believe all the countries do a background check on you, and it would pop out that you had a rejected claim.

I have a question if you don’t mind please, how come you were deported after 10 years?? That’s an unusual action from Canada.

Yes, all other countries will know. You are also required to disclose this fact. If you don't, then you will commit misrepresentation and those countries will also likely issue a ban against you on top of rejecting your claim.

It is not unusual, as with any country, if you do not have the legal right to be here. I used to work at the airport, DAILY I would see people being escorted, by CBSA,Immigration some willingly, others being extradited/deported to for crimes committed in other countries. Customs would escort the person to the gate, and not leave the gate area until the airplane actually took off

I see I tought since when I first arrived in Canada they asked me if I have lived in the USA, I said no and they let me in even tho I lived in the USA for 5 years before, also while in Canada I knew many accepted refugees who committed serious criminal acts in the USA or other countries and they never did a background check on them, which really pissed me off to be honest, but maybe is different for when someone gets rejected.

To answer live&love: Is not so rare as you think, the deportation center where I was being held was packed with people ready to be deported, is just that this doesn't hit the news, the police in Montreal (where I was living) is actively working together with immigration, not so in Toronto (from the own words of the police officer).
In my case I went to talk to a neighbor who didn't let his surrounding neighbors (including me of course) sleep during the night, he responded in an aggressive way, I put my arms in his shoulders to calm him down, big mistake from my part and the rest is history, others in the deportation center had committed a traffic violation, had a fight with someone, etc... but don't think is so unusual, is happening.

If you claimed asylum in Canada after living in the US for 5 years, I would assume that the reason you were let in is because Canada does not assume you are lying. They get proof first. During their processing of your asylum claim, they would have found that out anyway. Just because you were allowed entry doesn’t mean Canada was fooled, it just means Canada chose to give the benefit of the doubt.

Did you appeal your asylum or deportation?

The US will knows about your asylum in their systems once your set a foot in the US or approach any US embassy or consulate, other English-speaking countries (UK, Australia and New Zealand) will also know about your asylum in their systems if they have your fingerprints and you were applying for asylum again or any PR visa. Other countries can learn about your asylum if they approach Canadian gov't which will happen if they were suspecting you or if you apply for asylum again in those countries. If that country happens to be a European country, then the news becomes contagious within all the European bloc, and tied to your fingerprints too.

However, I have some good news for you. Even though you have lost your status and were deported from Canada, that doesn't mean you can't return as a skilled worker. If you have acquired language skills, studied and gained some experience in Canada during the past 10 years as you were going through asylum you can actually use them to secure a PR visa.

Is that actually possible? Wouldn't he be banned from applying to Canada since he was deported?

He could try for Australian PR though.

If he he had been given a final departure order after all appeals are exhausted in his or her asylum case and it was voluntarily done, then yes it is possible to apply for PR at anytime assuming one is qualified to, and can actually use the skills and experience gained while in Canada. I know it sounds unfair, but this is how the law currently operates.

If one didn't voluntarily depart, and was detained and deported then an ARC application must be filed.

If one committed misrepresentation or a criminal offense then obviously these will have temporary or permanent bars to immigration as a skilled worker.
