Wow 10yrs is a long time. Anyways how long did you stay before you got your visitor Visa? Did you leave immoderately after you got the departure letter and what is the best way to get her back on track....Your input will help alot..
I left within the 30 days the departure order states, I have only recently returned but it was still on my file and the IO asked me what the order was for, I told her the truth on how we came to overstay, and she said she could give me the full 12 months visitor visa, thinking about it it might be so i didnt overstay again and had plently of time to complete my PR application.
Hi MandyUK, i have a question for you did you apply for ARC??? When i got departure order I left Canada within 30 days I dont understand why they are requesting ARC , an officer verifyed my departure at the airport , maybe i confused my Visa Office when i filled up the sponsorhip application when I wrote i got deportation and no departure, now i am worried what can i do???
Yeah this most likly did confuse them, do you still have the paperwork from the departure order, they are requesting an ARC as thats what you have to do when you get a deportation or exclusion order. With a departure order as long as you left within the 30 days, you do not have to get a ARC to return. If it was me I would send them a copy of the paperwork you had for the departure order, it should show on your file also as this will be on there until you get your PR. That way they may be able to match it up and verify that it was only a departure order.
