Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: Hi
JA: Hi. How can I help?
Customer: I am planning to migrate to Canada. I have approved COPR issued on 15 feb 2021 and valid till 8 oct 2021. I was in USA when I applied for my Express entry application and received my Copr. I was on my work visa (H1B). But, last week I was deported back to India under “expedited removal” and my US visa was revoked (issues related to my employment period). I am not sure if this will affect my chances of getting the Canada PR and would like to discuss this with you.
JA: Have you talked to a lawyer about this?
Customer: No
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: nothing yet.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: I am in the process of challenging CBP decision

ToLawyer, Expert

Are you currently in India or US?

Customer
I am in India.

ToLawyer, Expert

So, your US status will not affect your chances of getting Canadian PR. You technically already have status in Canada, and you can come here at the port of entry.

See the specific instructions here (for "If you're outside Canada"): https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/application-approved.html

If you’re admissible and there are no problems when you arrive, the officer will:

1) allow you to enter Canada as a permanent resident

2) confirm your Canadian mailing address where we’ll mail your permanent resident card

This is the information with regards ***** ***** of Funds: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

Customer
Do I need to update my address using Web form since I am in India now?
img

ToLawyer, Expert

Yes.

Customer
Also, my US visa says revoked on my passport. Will the immigration officer in Canada question me about it?
Customer
I have heard USA and Canada share immigration information.
img

ToLawyer, Expert

They may, but you were not an illegal immigrant, you left when you were told. You should be fine.

Customer
Okay. So just to be certain, deportation from US won’t affect my chances to enter Canada?
img

ToLawyer, Expert

No they should be muturally exclusive.

Customer
As right now I am inadmissible to the US
Customer
Should I mention to IRCC via web form about my current situation?
Customer
My deportation from Usa
Customer
Hi

ToLawyer, Expert

I would not recommend it, no need to raise concerns. It is wholly in a different jurisdiction.

Customer
Ok.. Got it! Thank you.
