I haven't had the chance to check up on this for some time because I've been busy.... now I find this.

Tdot Champ whatever your name is..... maybe you should keep your judgements on the validity of my marriage to yourself. You don't know me.

Apparently you don't know how to read, otherwise you would see that I explained the criteria of our case and the events that lead up to it becoming a deportation order in my original post, so now I will repeat myself:

My husband offered to purchase his own ticket back to Lebanon upon receiving his departure order.

Immigration Canada INSISTED on purchasing it for him to ensure his departure.

They took their time buying his ticket (conveniently to make it turn into a deportation order) and when he overstayed because he was WAITING FOR THEM TO BUY HIS TICKET TO LEAVE, he asked them if it was going to be a deportation order and was told that it would not be.

He was lied to by immigration.

He also wasn't aware that he had to pay the money back, otherwise he would have done it once he got back to Lebanon.

He isn't a criminal. He was never arrested for anything the last time he was in Canada. He didn't do anything wrong to be asked to leave, his visa merely expired and they denied him refugee status.

He worked while he was here. He works in Lebanon. He'll work when he comes back. not everyone plunks themselves onto Social Assistance.

As for the "marriage of convenience" that you assume we have, it involves a small child. Having a child to better one's chances of immigrating is pathetic at best.

There's also a little thing called "humanitarian and compassionate grounds"

This means that his son has human rights - one of them is his right to be raised by both parents.

So go run your mouth off about the validity of someone's marriage elsewhere.

As for the rest that have posted, thanks for your input.
Louise Marie, im sorry i didn' mean to offend you or anything..nor was i judging your relationship...i was giving my input in regards to what CIC considers of such cases. I am talking about probabilities that occur in such situations..

if you read my post again here is what i wrote in that post " The applicant did not want to leave Canada, and was deported and this could make VO think that he/she is in a marriage of convenience just for immigration. "

pay attention to the VO part ..... just tryin to help you out , not judge your marriage...this is how CIC people think and there is a reason for them to think like that because some people mess with the system and it makes it hard for the genuine ones...

i am sorry once again...my intention was only to share the truth not to offend anyone...

Well it says under the ARC category,if you paid for your own way out and you complied with everything they asked you to do (as you did) then you will have a great chance in getting the ARC.
As you dont get a stamp on the way out it is only you that knows you left a little late so i wouldnt worry.
There is a whole section on ARCs in the OP1 manual if you want to read up on it,i think if you do it will put you more at ease.

hello
i am in the spousal sponsership category
i have a certificate of departure it states in the certificate that a departure order turned to be a deportation order ,but i paid for my ticket ,they told me the day and the time to leave canada they called me 5 hours ealier of my flight saying there was a delay and told me the time that i have to be at the airport ,so i left canada on the time and date they told me to do so ,i never missed an interview or an oppointement ,my police clearence from canada is clear,and i wasnt escorted by police or had a crime.
the reason i was deported, a refusal of refugee ,and humanitarian,that i had the right to file them anyway so i was refused and left canada as they told me to do so.
my question is what is the difference between a departure order and a departure order that turns into deportation order and what are the chances for me to get the arc considering that i did whatever they asked me to do so. thank you for your replys

1. A departure order doesn't require an ARC.
2. A departure order that becomes a deportation order, requires an ARC to return to Canada.
3. Depends on the bona fides of the marriage whether it will be approved or not. If you married just before you left Canada, you can probably expect a long processing time.

Thanks, I have been looking on sites about this but noone ever replies. The thing i find retarded is that ppl are spending money on sponsorship applications and then they get denied ARC.. so waste of money..
FYI.. canada immigration doesnt care if you have a child or fiancee in Canada who are citizens they will still try to keep you away.. go figure!!
Dont we have the right to raise our children ?
Thanks again for you reply :)

I read a lot of misinterpretation of the whole ARC process and some of the comments are very demoralizing. We should look at the whole picture and not just one side of the process. ARC is not a simple thing to go through but at the same time the IO will have to weight one factor against the other depending on the person's situation ...

I went on the CIC website and read the manual about the ARC procedure and here's what I found that the other members omitted to mention

Factors to consider when assessing an ARC application


The severity of the IRPA violation that led to the removal.
• The applicant's history of cooperation with CIC:

♦ Are there any previous immigration warrants?
♦ Did the applicant fail to appear for any hearing or removal?
♦ Did the applicant comply with the terms and conditions of the document issued by CIC?
♦ Did the applicant pay for the removal costs?
♦ Was the applicant removed under escort?
In most cases, a proper assessment of these factors will require contacting the office responsible
for the removal. If there is evidence of criminal activity, officers may consult with Canadian law
enforcement authorities and ask for a local police certificate.

• The reasons for the applicant's request to return to Canada:

♦ Do compelling or exceptional circumstances exist?
♦ Are there alternative options available to the applicant that would not necessitate
returning to Canada?
♦ Are there factors that make the applicant's presence in Canada compelling (e.g., family
ties, job qualifications, economic contribution, temporary attendance at an event)?
♦ Are there children directly implicated in the application whose best interests should be
considered?
♦ Can the applicant support him or herself financially?
♦ How much time has passed since the infraction that led to the removal order?
♦ How long does the applicant intend to stay in Canada?
♦ Are there tangible or intangible benefits that may accrue to Canada or the person concerned?

Bona fide marriages, attendance at the funeral of a family member or acceptance under a provincial nominee program are examples of factors that would normally constitute a “compelling reason” for returning to Canada. However, no one factor alone should automatically serve to override concerns related to the safety of Canadians and the security of Canadian society.

Other considerations When assessing an A34/35/37 application, CIC must consult the National Security Division of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
If an applicant is inadmissible on grounds other than those cited in the previous removal order (i.e., medical, criminality, security), they must apply for and obtain a temporary resident permit (TRP). In cases of criminal inadmissibility, a rehabilitation decision (or the applicant is deemed to have been rehabilitated) or a pardon (a foreign pardon or one issued by the National Parole Board) will also be necessary. A TRP does not overcome the need for an ARC.

An ARC can be granted for return to Canada as a permanent resident, for a one-time visit, or for occasional entries for a specified purpose (e.g., medical treatments, work-related activities) over a prescribed period. If an applicant requires an ARC but has not submitted fees, a letter should be sent explaining the requirement for an ARC. If no response is received within 90 days, the application may be refused
under A41 and A52(1). Please refer to Appendix H for a sample letter.
If the Department defrayed the costs of multiple removals, the entire amount of removal-related expenses must be recovered. The cost recovery fee applies to each application.

Any individual who has a right of appeal before the IAD as per A63 can appeal a negative ARC

IT WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL TO READ ABOUT SOME SUCCESS STORIES INCLUDING TIMELINES ::)
