I am a Philippine citizen who works illegally in Greece for almost 3 years now and wants to go home soon. I run the risk of being stamped DEPORTED on my passport for overstaying my visa, although I am executing a VOLUNTARY EXIT. Worst case scenario, I got my passport stamped "deported", will it jeopardize my application for work permit to Canada? I am exiting Greece because I have found an employer in Canada and have started processing for work permit application for me. Will the Canadian Embassy in the Philippines outrighly deny my visa application because of this? Some people advised I change my passport with "deported" stamp soon as I get home. If so, will the Canadian Embassy have a way of finding out?

i hope not the disregard for the laws of greece do not show much interest of obeying the laws of canada or anywhere else canada might be liberal but i doubt it is this stupid....

you have to truthfully answer the question - have you ever been deported from any other country?? you also may have to dubmit a police check from the country you lived in for more than 6 months. your deportation may or may not be mentioned on that certificate. if you were working illegally in Greece, you are highly likely to be denied a work permit in Canada as you have already shown that you are willing to stay illegally in another country therefore you will most likely do it again in Canada
