ARC---compelling reasons 2 return

Alex121: From what I know if Visa office asked for ARC fee that means you are okay? I had a friend her husbnd got deported, was a failed refugee claimant but didn't leave the country, was caught, had to pay for the plane ticket & bail bond $5,000.00. His ARC was approved & was already working in the company I'm in. 

turqoise: i am so sorry you have to go through the same ordeal for the 2nd time...Which embassy are you going through? and have they asked you to pay the ARC fee or not yet? to be honest with you i am very confused with the whole ARC process...i was reading your story on another thread here and it said ur hubbie was involved in something that has happened over 10 years ago that's why he was refused the 1st time...like i said i am confused about the ARC so i don't know anything for sure but i will state my opinions...as for the the ARC i know that deportation is a BAN from Canada....so without the ARC hubbie will be inadmissible...concerning his first inadmissibility..ur appeal was won and the Judge overruled that...so the only factor you're worried about is the ARC now...in the ARC application they ask you whether you have committed any criminal offences in any countries...the answer to that question will look bad on your hubbie....but now you have mentioned his Canadian RCMP is clean... what about the one for his country?...i think the ARC is about the circumstances leading to his removal/exclusion from Canada and the compelling reasons to return...which he does have because he has you his wife...your marriage is genuine and you both have a kid together so that's a compelling reason 2 grant the ARC...as for the ancient thing that has happened 10 years ago i will not lie it does look bad on him...but you won the appeal and the Judge overruled his inadmissibility  so to me that's a positive sign...now as far as the ARC...i have heard stories of people who's hubbies had criminal records in Canada and received their ARC's but its because they received pardons...but then i have a friend who had problems with US immigration as well as was involved in some fraud in Canada...well the ppl she was working with were involved in fraud and since she was there doing whatever they were doing she was involved as well....was never convicted but the whole thing did show up on her background check and it did create problems and longer processing times but at the end she was granted the ARC...i don't know how exactly does the whole thing work...some embassies have interviews for the ARC's where as others just ask hey pay the $400.00 fee and wait...to be honest with you i am freaking out as well cuz my hubbie had a warrant...was caught... held and released on a $5000.000 bond... applied for his PRRA which obviously was negative and then the removal process began... we applied for the PRRA cuz i needed to save some money for 2 plane tickets,,,, i had to pay our consultant for releasing him and pay for our PR application...adding all those things together it did cost us a lot...now i am worried that he will be denied his ARC.... well its a possibility cuz he did have a warrant and was held...so he did not comply with Canadian immigration laws and that is bad... looks bad on him...we haven't been asked to pay the ARC fee yet.... the embassy returned all our pics... letters...wedding cards... receipts for stuff we bought back home and here...they asked for his RCMP we didn't send that in with our application cuz we were told if they embassy wants they will conduct their own RCMP checks... but they did ask us for RCMP and local police checks for Peru the country he's in...so we took care of that and at the same time i asked the lady at the embassy if i can pay his ARC she told me no wait till we advise you to do so...i told her i  heard that in MEXICO it takes a year to process the ARC she laughed and told me no it won't take a year...we process them fast but you have to wait till we ask you for the payment..so i'm guessing!!! they are in the middle of doing his security check and once that goes through they will ask for the ARC fee....i am worried he will get denied the ARC because he had a warrant.... but honestly no one really knows... all embassies have different rules... different time frames and procedures.... SHOULD THEY NOT ALL BE THE SAME??? i don't know but i guess not...i am just confused as you are..so until we get what we are waiting for have a glass of wine or 2 and relax and wait...no one can predict the outcome and worrying yourself about it crazy won't help...so many diff stories with so many diff outcomes... it cannot be predicted...think positive and positive will happen that is my motto...and even if I get denied... i will fight till my last breath 2 have what i deserve 2 have with me back home...and so will you =)... so lets hope for the best and just wait and see what happens...maybe we are worried for nothing....maybe all will go smooth..no one knows...Good luck 2 all of us...never give up no matter how hard you fall... you brush yourself off and try again and again... do not give up...=) soon our time will come....=)

OH MY Goshhhh!!! that is such GREAT news...start packing ladyyy! CONGRATULATIONS =) 

Rocco: Thanks a lot!  there are lots of compelling reasons for my husband to come to Canada but in the end it really depends of the immigration officer who will review his file. When he applied for PRRA in Canada, they turned all the positive points into negative even in the reason letter they put that me & my son can live in Hungary & if we don’t want, then there is still a way of communicating like skype & long distance, even his in demand job, they still find excuses to not grant him a visa.  

 

I really don’t know now based from my past experiences, I cannot really say any positive until my husband will land Canada. Last May 18, they already started to process. June 2011 they respond back to me that they were still doing background verification. I asked CSIS & CSIS respond early July 2011 that they were done & result was sent to Vienna Visa office. A week after that, I saw in my e-cas they already accepted the 2^nd medical re-do.

 

Last week, they emailed & request for an original police clearance because the one submitted in not suficient ( as per their email). When my appeal was allowed last April 2011 We already sent all updated documents, medical redo, police clearance, imm0008, sched 1, new photos. I thought they won’t asked for the police clearance since it was already submitted & the time when they received it, it was still valid. we thought sending the forms in advance than waiting for them to request would be better to lessen processing time & also heard from other visa office that sometimes they ask for a document one at a time.

 

anyhow, we just decided to send another one. My husband submitted the new Police clearance last week. Up until now, we are again back in waiting game until any news coming from Vienna. The good thing at least it’s moving.  

 

I don’t also know if my friend’s hubby had a warrant but he was held. I think as long as your police clearance are clear & they believe marriage is genuine then you can get it. I mean probably visa offices know about those refugee claimants history. They come here in Canada to have a better life. My hubby doesn’t qualify for those points system.

 

Did you apply for a police clearance in Canada with fingerprint when you initially submit the spousal application because if it won’t show there then your husband is cleared. Only CBSA has records of his warrant. As long as he is not charged.

 

Alex121: Congratulatons Alex! you're almost at the end of the tunnel.

 

 

 

turquoise: we did not apply for the RCMP police clearance in Canada...we were told by our representative that if the embassy wants to they will do their own check...they started processing his file August 6, 2010... i haven't heard anything from them until march this year...they returned our pictures, receipts,,,letters and other proofs we have submitted...they asked for his local police checks from Peru ( there was 3 we had 2 do)...and also gave us directions how to obtain the Canadian RCMP check *finger prints*...and told me it could take between 4-6 months to arrive...so when we got everything they asked for i went into the embassy to leave the stuff there... the Canadian RCMP check i was told that RCMP will send it back to the embassy...so in May i went in to check whether they have received the Canadian police clearances they told me no they haven't arrived yet...i asked if i can make the ARC payment and was told no you have to wait till we ask for it but told me to pay the Right of residency fee...so i got my sister back home to pay it for us and send us the receipts...took another month for the fee to show up in their system that it has been paid and received...now our medicals expired in July but i will not be going back to ask anything because when i asked about the ARC i was told NO wait till we ask you 2...so we will just wait
