Hi,
My son spent 6 months in Canada. While there, he applied for a working visa and in the meantime did some volunteer work for a mowing contractor. He was not paid for this however was pulled over by the police for a license check and they found out he did not have a working visa. Consequently, his working visa was denied.
At the US border one day he was told that he should have received notification that meant he had to leave the country immediately. When he showed that he had a ticket booked for a month down the track, they dropped the matter. That notification never arrived because all correspondence went to our home address in Australia. I personally think the border guard was just pushing his weight around. He is now back home in Australia but wants to return in April to spend 2 months there with his girlfriend. Because of the issue with the working visa last time, he is now worried that there might be a chance that he will be turned around at the airport in Vancouver.
Any thoughts please?

There´s certainly a possibility he will have problems entering the country.
What he was doing (volutneering with a mowing contractor) is classified as illegal work. Even if you´re not being paid, if the work you are volunteering to do would usually be something someone is paid to do - then it is classified as work (and you need a work permit to work legally in Canada).
When his work visa was denied, it´s quite likely that he was also issued a departure order. If he did in fact receive a departure order and didn´t leave within 30 days, I believe that would have turned into a deportation order. If he did in fact receive a departure order which turned into a deportatin order, then he will likely need an ARC (authorization to return to Canada) to come back. An ARC isn´t something that is granted at the border - you have to apply in advance.
What corresponse was sent? Did he receive anything that sounds like the departure order? I think he would be wise to find out if there was a deportation order issued agaist him before he books any flights.

How could he find out if a deportation order was issued against him?

BTW, the correspondence he received was only in relation to his working visa being denied. There is no reference to having to leave the country.

If no departure order was issues - then that´s certainly good news.
However this doesn´t guarantee smooth sailing at the border (whether he´s allowed into Canada and for how long is at the discretion of the immigration officer he encounters when he arrives). With his history, he should make sure he brings evidence that shows he has strong ties to Australia and has no plans to remain in Canada long term.

So any idea of who to contact to find out if a departure and/or deportation order were issued?

Was his work permit denied due to previously working illegally?
If that is the case, CIC could have issued an exclusion order. If CIC did so, then he is not allowed to enter Canada for 1 or 2 years.
He should contact the Canadian Embassy and deal with it before attempting to come to Canada. There is a very high possibility that he might be refused of entry.
