Hi, does anyone can help me how can a person can ask for arc from outside canada? I contact my embassy but nobody help me. Can we make the process online?
Hi there. I am currently outside Canada processing my spousal sponsorship application. An ARC was requested by the visa office in my country, it seems to be the last part of the overall application process. Are you currently applying to return to Canada under the spousal sponsorship application?

My husband applied for student visa and I did for an open work permit, his visa was approved over a month ago and I was requested to submit ARC documents and payment... I did on Dec 1st. Does anyone know approximately how long it will take to get an answer? Thank you in advance.

P. S. I applied for refugee on 2008 and was rejected on 2010, left the country 5 days after the date they gave me but always letting them know, they even got my email with my itinerary weeks before my departure. I paid my own ticket, left un escorted

ARCs generally take a few months to process. Although there's always some chance it may be processed faster.

You should be prepared for the possibility that you may need to defer your studies to the next semester if the ARC is not approved in time. There's probably a good chance of that.

Sorry - I see your husband's study visa has already been approved. So he is good to travel and there's no need to defer his studies. However you may be waiting a number of months yet before you have a response for the ARC and your open work permit.

Good luck.

Thank you, my husband is the one studying and he will be traveling to Canada in a few days, I guess I will patiently wait until I got my response and hopefully I get the arc approved.

I'll keep you guys posted in case someone is in the same path right now

I have one question to anyone who might know something about it... Do you guys know if the processing offices abroad (Mexico) will be taking days off? Does this would mean that no answer will be issued during holidays? Thank you all in advance

Offices will be closed for some days through Christmas and New Years. Google the hours of the embassy.

Hello everyone... As mentioned above submitted my documents requested for the ARC however I didn't get an email confirming the receipt of them... I wrote to the office asking how was everything and they responded me back something automated like: IN ORDER TO CONTINUE PROCESSING YOUR APPLICATION YOU MUST SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS:

ARC

... That scares me and makes me think they didn't receive them yet. How am I supposed to make sure they get them, I uploaded them through my profile portal

Any thoughts?
