Will a US entry denial affect a Canada visa application? - Splashing Niagara Falls and yacht sailing on river

I traveled to the USA in 2016 on a student visa. However, I was deported and banned for five years because my documents were incorrect, and some of them were fake (related to financial status). I was wrongly guided by the consultancy I used.

Now I am planning to apply for Canada (PR) Express Entry, using correct and original documents. Will I be refused again?

Clarification (per OP's deleted answer): refused entry upon arrival at the border, which resulted expedited removal and the 5-year ban.



Best Answer

As others have mentioned, the US and Canada explicitly share information regarding visa refusals, involuntary removals (deportations) etc. with each other, based on a bilateral treaty to that effect.

However, Canada is an independent jurisdiction from the US, and will make a decision on your application based on their own criteria. It's very unlikely that Canada will automatically reject your application simply because you have been denied entry to, or removed from, the US at an earlier time. However, you can certainly expect to face additional scrutiny, which could possibly result in a refusal, if your documents are not watertight.

In summary, your history with US immigration will almost certainly affect your Canadian application to some extent, but the exact degree to which it does so will depend on the strength of your fresh application, as well as the discretion of Canadian visa officers.
