It was a long process because I lived in the States before and because of a failed refugee claim. I applied for the ARC on March 2012 and it got approved the same day the visa was issued. Three weeks ago I had to go for New xrays in order to have the medicals reassed ;D

Well :D!!! the long wait its over! ARC Approved, Visa Received! looking to land sometime real soon :P! thank you Lord! ;)

You are so kind! ;D :-* lol

Wow!

Who in the world enjoys this process? just a thought!

Well our cases are different. We have what they call Non routine cases, and they take longer. They got in contact with me in april 2011, 2 months after they received the application, they requested the payment for 35 thousand pesos and my libreta militar, which I sent right away, then did not...

It went fast, Lucky you! I'm on the same boat, but been waiting long as you can see on the left. The VO said the ARC takes a few months. I been asked for the colombian security payment twice, last time on late November. went for an interview on March 2012, the VO asked for my passport during the...

Well is not a routine case, a departure order became a deportation order so we had to apply for an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC). Looks like its done, only a couple of things to process as I mentioned earlier.

The IO asked for the ARC application, letter, fee and my passport during the interview, I submited the ARC app,letter and $400 fee a week later, he said it would take a few months, I've heard of some arc's taking somewhere between 6 to 9 months. we got the MP involved a couple of times already...

How long did it take you to get them?

ARC?

Sad but true!

Oops. Sorry bout that. I read about it in another forum. Nothing official just a rumor.

yeah! :o It has taken so long because is not a routine case, reason being; refugee claim denied so departure order became a deportation order. So we had to apply for an Authorization to return to Canada back in March. Now we are just waiting for background checks.
