Authorization to return to Canada.

[SugarBlitz4444]

Hello,

I need to file for an Authorization to return to Canada, on my dads behalf.
Does anyone have recommendation for a consultant or lawyer in the lower mainland area
that knows that side of immigration work?

Thanks!

Dave

Oh ok! Online still says in progress for me too. I did the update of documents Schedule A and another 2 and submitted them in person when we went for interview. Nothing since then. Online the last update is from November 30!

1 CBSA forwards the paper file to the CPC-O.
2 The CPC-O creates the GCMS file and initiates mandatory checks (security checks only).
3.a For files with relatively low admissibility risks, the CPC-O will process cases to final decision. Permanent Resident Visas and Confirmations of Permanent Residence will be printed at the visa office. The CPC-O will retain the file.
3.b For files with complex admissibility risks, the files will be sent to the visa office for processing. The CPC-O will not communicate with the client or the sponsor to avoid confusion for the client.

Then we are in similar situation. I thought with approved interview it wouldn't take too long to wrap up.

I also have a confusion maybe you know better.

I am not sure if I need a arc or not. I have received Certificate of Departure (0056) I checked online it says: if you have a Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056B) showing the date you left Canada you do not need an ARC. You may return to Canada subject to normal examination at the port of entry.

but when I see further on my form. CBSA mentioned: Departure Order automatically becomes a Deportation Order.

I am confused.

Which order you received?

Ok. Yes a departure order becomes a deportation order if you don't leave when requested. It depends what your conditions where for leaving. My husband was deported because his PPRA was declined. He left when asked but it still gets labeled as a deportation order.
If you need an ARC they will request it. Sometimes people just need to wait one year before re-entering Canada. It depends what your situation is. In my case an ARC is necessary.

Hi,
I need some help regarding ARC.

Currently, my Permanent Residency (PR) application is under process at CIC London visa office under a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). My medical is ‘passed’ and I paid RPRF fees. I received a RCMP fingerprint request which I uploaded on my CIC account. I am from a country which is under war at present and I am currently working and living in another country on a temporary work permit.

In the past, I went to Canada in 2000 on tourist visa and applied for refugee. My refugee application was refused and after that I applied underHumanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) considerations. In 2004, I volunteered to leave Canada. I received a departure order. In one of the documents I have, it is clearly mentioned –
“He is under deemed deportation (failed claimant). He has no criminality. He will not be escorted. He requested to leave Canada to be reunited with his family”.

My tickets were arranged by the enforcement officer. After I left Canada, I did not know the outcome of my H&C application. Before leaving, I updated my application with my friend’s address and phone number. Later on approximately after one year, I learnt from that friend that he received a phone call and someone from the immigration office told him that my H&C application was approved and they had been trying to contact me. I contacted the immigration office and they told me my approved application will be cancelled because I was no longer inside Canada.

My UCI number in my PR application is the same as it was in my previous applications. So I am assuming that CIC will have access to all my past records. I do have some documents regarding my refugee application but I did not make a copy of my H&C application.

I read on CIC website that I should wait for CIC to contact me to get ARC as my ARC will be processed in the context of my PR application. Could you please advise me on the following questions?
· Is ARC processed as a part of the PR application or will CIC ask me to apply for ARC separately? Should I wait to hear from CIC or should I apply now for ARC?
· Do you recommend hiring a lawyer for applying? Did you hire one? Please share his/her contact details.
· How much time does it take to get the ARC?
· Is provincial nomination a reason compelling enough for ARC? Any suggestion about what I can write to make my case more compelling?


Thank you.
SK

Hello, im currently under a 1 year exclusion order that ends at the end of September this year. I applied for spousal sponsorship in May of this year. What are the chances that they will request an ARc before the exclusion is up?

I think it depends on the stage of your application, I read of a case where the sponsored person applied and had an exclusion order but because the year passed before they could reach a decision they did not need the ARC. I also read of another case where the person had the exclusion order but because of the timing they were requested ARC even tho they only had an exclusion order. So my guess is that it depends of the time.

I could be wrong but those are my thoughts, I hope someone else can give you better response!

Thank you for your response! Right now im still waiting for the AOR so im still in the first stages of my application process. I also want to travel to Canada to see my family in October so if the VO asks me to do an ARC and that is being processed when i want to go to Canada for the visit it will complicate things because normally i wouldnt need one when my exclusion period is over. Im from a visa exempt country but i still need to go through the new ETA process. Anyway i appreciate your help, and if someone else has any thought on this please share them.

Hi everyone
Finally after 4 yrs I received the ARC approval from NDVO but No correspondence confirmation from New Delhi yet. I requested the caips notes that shows that my arc is approved in April this year. No medical call so far. I have applied under FSW. Even the MP office informed me that chc is performing the security check now and that has no time limits. If anybody have any such experience plz share.

Can someone please give me some advice?

my husband was given a 1 year exclusion order in October 2015. Our sponsorship application was received by CIC in January 2017, a few months after the 1 year order had ended.

As per information online, he shouldn't have to complete an ARC, but is required to pay a $1500 fee for removal costs.

We are dealing with the Kingston, Jamaica VO. Everyone requires interviews through their office, and if successful, and all documents are order, they receive their visa on the spot the same day.

My concern, is that my husbands interview date has been scheduled, at which time they asked for us to provide proof of the RPRF among other documents (passport, etc)- but there has been no mention of the cost removal fee.

Does anyone have experience with an exclusion order that has passed the time of the ban? When did you pay your fees? Were you asked to pay for them?

If he was given only an exclusion order for a year he does not require ARC, why do you think that he has to pay the removal fee? In other cases when the exclusion order has already expired the applicant aren't required to pay the removal fees or apply for ARC. I don't think you have to pay the removal fee.

Thanks for the reply. The information I find online is really confusing and contradictory.... I read it here, that clients are required to pay:

"Clients who are the subject of exclusion or departure orders may seek to return to Canada after the period specified in the Regulations, without the need to obtain the authorization of an officer. However, as with deportees, these clients are now required to pay the cost of their removal as per R243, if they were removed at Her Majesty’s expense.

Once the officer who is processing the request for authorization to return to Canada (IMM 1203B) has determined that authorization will be granted, the office in Canada where the removal order originated will inform the officer whether payment is applicable. Collection of this fee will occur prior to the authorization to return to Canada being granted.

The applicable fees are per R243.

A receipt shall be issued each time a payment of removal expenses is received.

If an individual advises that they are unable or unwilling to pay the fee immediately, they should be counselled to withdraw their request for authorization to return to Canada and return when they have the ability and willingness to do so. If the individual refuses to withdraw their request, the request will be refused for failure to pay removal costs as per A52(1). "

In the first paragraph is says "after the period specified in the Regulations, without the need to obtain the authorization of an officer". Then in the 2nd, "once the officer who is processing the request for authorization to return to Canada"... why would there be an officer processing a request, if the request isn't necessary?
