Hi there,
I went to canada as student from Pakistan in 2006 and filed my refugee case in 2009 and got rejected and was deported in Jan 2011.
Now i am in pakistan and i recently got married to a canadian born citizen.
She came here to visit me and we got married.
Now we are planning to file our sponsorship application next month sometimes.
My question is since i am here in pakistan and she is going back to canada and filing the application.

how long would it take to process the application and we are willing to settle in toronto city as my n her friends n her family lives in toronto.

other question is when i was deported, The canadian Govt paid for my ticket. I wana know where we pay back the tickey money to the gov't.

Thank you

Shawn

I think you will also have to pay back the ticket money to the govt along with the ARC fee.

At the time of processing or during processing, you may ask the Immigration Officer at High Commission or Consulate for ARC Application. They will give you a form. Fill up the form and submit with a fee of $400.00 (during my time in 2007). The estimated time for approval is 3-6 months but sometimes it is done fast. If yous spouse who is a Canadian shows some urgency with Immigration Officer, processing may be done faster. But he has to take initiative.

You may pay the Air Ticket money to Immigration Canada in the form of a Bank Draft. Confirm this from Immigration Agent at the Consulate. .

There is nothing complicated. They will guide at every step.


I m from india..
i did refugee claim in 2006 it got denied, pro and humanity application also got denied, then they told me i have 2 leave canada( under departures came deportation)..... but the officer told me whenever i need to come back i should have ARC letter + i have 2 pay air ticket....
now as i got married, m spouse is from canada..... here we r confused wht 2 do first, i mean ARC ,AIR TICKET OR SPOUSE APPLICATION....
