Hi there! I have a quick question. Our application is through Mexico VO. We have been approved for PR at the interview. Police checks in Mexico and in Canada are done and submitted along with fingerprints and the payment requested.

We need the ARC. At interview we were told we just need to pay when they request it. Is anyone here in this situation? The interview was end of February. How long, generally, will the wait be before ARC payment is requested? Just wanted an idea of time frame.

Thank you!

Hi,

I have also submitted medical, update forms, PCC. Recently they asked me to show (Re establishment to canada) because my wife lives with me. But they haven't asked me ARC so far. My online status says - File in progress.

It's hard to tell when they will request ARC .
But It's not Payment only , Payment and a letter of request for ARC with explanation as to why they should grant you an ARC .

At interview they had said they would send request for payment. I was surprised because i know that you have to do an application for ARC....maybe i misunderstood when the lady was speaking.

Actually embassy I believe, seeing the application is in Mexico City. That's where the interview was held.

The only reply I got was after I asked my lawyer to send an email to ensure they had received the PGR and RCMP clearance. And they confirmed that they did. But nothing else.

No i haven't. I have mixed feelings on it because some say it slows down the process some say they don't.
So I'll just wait because it will take the time it's meant to take.
