I have similar case, I came with my son to claim refugee, which was refused. My son's father was also here and his refugee was also refused. while we were here at some point my son went to stay with his father and he was going back home and decided to also take our son with. so my son went back home but the flight ticket was that of father and not Canada government. So i stayed and did not go, i was served with PRRA which i applied and i also applied for humanitarian. my PPRA was refused and H&C was approved. both answers came back same time. so i than sponsored my son who has been gone for more than 3 years. his medical are done, received Pre-arrival than asked to pay ARC fees and submit explanation letter on how he went out of Canada. Will they approve his ARC or what? its been a month now since fees and letter submitted.
