Hi everyone,
I submitted an online TRV application together with an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC). My TRV was recently refused because my stated purpose of travel did not match a temporary stay. However, I just received the AOR for my ARC application today (after the TRV get refused).
I am planning to submit a new TRV application right away for a strictly short-term visit (to settle my personal affairs, sell my car, and manage my belongings).
Has anyone been in this situation before?
  1. Can I link my existing ARC application (using the AOR number and payment receipt) to my new TRV so I don't have to pay the ARC fee again?
  2. Should I send an updated ARC explanation letter via IRCC Webform right after submitting the new TRV?
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
