I over stayed after given a removal order i was hiding for 4 years. Recently just get caught and deported. But before i left i married my husband so that he can process the sponsorship. Should we submit the sponsorship before apply for the arc?
How does Arc works after being deported for overstaying for 4 years.

- Start date
For refusing to obey the removal order (that led to deportation order) you've violated or failed in complying with IRPA. Therefore, your visa application maybe denied or you maybe refused entry to Canada, definitely an Authorization to return to Canada (ARC) is required in order to be admitted to Canada.
I’d also expect your last minute marriage before you were deported to be looked at very closely
The marriage is real cause we have 2 Canadian born children 6 years and 2 years old.
So should I apply for the arc first before submitting the sponsorship application or it doesn't matter which application 1st?
Correct me if I’m wrong , I never said that . You were under the radar for four years , had two children .You ignored removal orders . You got caught . Just BEFORE you are being deported you have the marriage , so your partner could start the sponsorship, which you had ample time in the previous four years to do
And btw, having children doesn’t constitute the genuineness of a marriage
If you've been in a relationship for over 6 years, why did you wait to apply for sponsorship, ignoring removal orders and ending up deported? You really could have saved yourself and your family so much trouble if you had made better decisions.
Straight from the IRCC website:
If you are applying to come to Canada for any reason, (visiting, studying, working or immigrating), you should not submit a separate application for an ARC. If your application is approved, the ARC will be dealt within the context of that application. You will simply be asked to submit the fee.

Submit the sponsorship application. IRCC will request the ARC paperwork as part of the process. You'll have to pay an additional fee for the ARC and also repay the cost of the flight to deport you (if you didn't pay for this yourself). The ARC will also add additional processing time to the application - likely several months.
My husband didn't have his papers back then,that's why. But thanks for the information.
What do you mean he "didn't have his papers"? When did he become a PR? How long have you been living together?You really should provide a full explanation of the situation because it sounds like it's very possible you don't even qualify to be sponsored.
Oh yes this can be important, especially if his husband became PR recently. Why? If the relationship was genuine and they were living together, he should have declared common law. Which might have lead to rejection of whole PR process (given her status and not obeying law, which might mean criminal inadmissibility). Oh yes, whole story is needed here.
If you lived together more than a year and he didn’t include you in. PR application for himself, you may find yourself ineligible for family class sponsorship.
