This forum is for questions dealing with US immigration law. The fact that you are barred from reentering the US for a certain period of time due to your prior overstay should not affect your ability to obtain a visa to Canada because Canada is a sovereign country independent of the US and its laws. However, you need to discuss your prior history of overstay with a Canadian immigration attorney and understand whether this disclosure may limit your possibilities as far as Canadian visa is concerned.
