I would suggest to do the self assessment to see whether you qualify. As for being in the US illegal is something between you and the US government and has nothing to do with your application for CA since this is between you and the Canadian government.

Hi,
On the fsw application, you need to submit proof that you have been "lawfully admitted" to the country you currently live in "for a period of at least one year", e.g. you need to provide a copy of your visa. If you do not, that is likely to be an incomplete application. The checklist says current or expired, so it is possible to submit an expired visa, if it was valid for at least one year. I am not sure how the visa office will take it, when they see it, so I suppose it is up to the officer dealing with your application.
