Congratulations to those who have reunited and I hope that all who are still waiting be reunited with your loved ones soon!
Having to go through any immigration process is stressful as it is, and with an ARC even more, but don't lose hope.

Waooo. Merci infiniment pour la chronologique de votre processus. Nous avons le même processus identique. Ça me donne beaucoup d'espoir. Bonne suite à vous.
Je suis contente que cela peut vous donner espoir. Les partages sur les forums m'ont également aidé. Bon courage et bonne suite à vous aussi
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. Do you know what are the chances of getting an ARC approval?
It's hard to say because every situation is different but I've heard of successful stories with ARC. It obviously depends on many factors but if one is able to support well their application and convince an officer of their honest reasons to return to Canada and that they won't repeat their past mistake, then I think there are good chances for an approval.
Are you going through spousal sponsorship along with your ARC?
