The reason for the denied ARC is past extensive immigration violations
My spouse initially came to Canada as a visitor & overstayed. During a ride stop was turned over to immigration. Applied refugee - was refused. Did not leave however from the initial immigration hold was always reporting to CBSA Airport Road. During reporting my spouse when then issued a deportation order but had a domestic case in court so did not leave as case needed to be cleared up. Still reporting to CBSA - eventually case was heard & completed - No criminal record. Was asked to go to CBSA where departure date was set. My spouse left Canada by that date. All this over a 10 yr period
In a nut shell that is it - All this was mentioned by the Program Manager as they stated all immigration related stuff and also made mention of the fact that there is no criminal record. I guess they just think they want to grant the ARC.
So back to the initial question does anyone know of someone who went through something similar and was successfully.
The genuineness of the marriage or anything else was not in question.
Thanks
