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...

My husband is also seeking asylum in the USA while i'm sponsoring him in Canada, he didn't withdrew his asylum application in the USA and we were very honest about where he's leaving and his status in the USA, however the sponsorship application was approved and sent to Nairobi for processing...

Thank you so much PMM :-*!!! I thought they made a mistake but now it all makes sense.

I started another thread on this issue and PMM has provided a full, complete explanation on why the file has gone to Nairobi (see link) http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t48452.0.html I guess there's no need to send a request for transfer - I'm just going to...

Hi! I've received confirmation that the sponsorship application has been approved on July 21st however the PR application has been sent to Nairobi for processing. Here's the situation: My husband is from Central Africa and has moved to buffalo since july 15th 09 (a little over 1 year), he's...

my husband is in buffalo legally and i've applied on june 15th (maybe i should have waited a little bit more...) I guess what really bothering me now is that nairobi has the slowest processing time (26 mths for most cases)

YESSSSS!!! I've just received the AOR and my sponsorship has been approved on July 21st ;D :D ;D but now I have another problem because they sent PR application to Nairobi instead of Buffalo!!!! - my husband has been in buffalo since july 15th 09 (a little over 1 year) but on the letter it...

You may want to request for his file to be destroyed, it cost about $200 with most agency. Surf the web and look for "pardons agencies". It takes a few month for the records to be destroyed, i'll advise you to apply ASAP

Thanks to all, that's really helpful

Oh so you mean if he stays in the US and apply as a refugee I can't sponsor him? he was deported from canada, I'm a canadian citizen and I'm trying to figure out how to get him back

My husband has been deported to US and banned for life and he has applied for refugee status in the US. can I still sponsor him? would the refugee claimant status in the states negatively affect the outland sponsorship application?

Hi, My husband has been removed from canada last month and banned from life. Now we've been married since 2005 but I couldn't sponsor him at the time because of his criminal records (fail to appear in front of judge). I've put in a request for pardon since more than 3 years has passed and he's...
