Hi everyone. I have a bit of a problem concerning switching my ARC from one company to another.
I recently left a teaching job that had supplied me with my ARC and I left on good terms with the boss. I have found a second teaching job (at a completely different company) who are happy to take over my ARC. However, my first boss had me sign a cancel contract agreement which is dated to over 14 days ago now. He told me that it doesn’t matter what date you sign the cancel contract, but only the date the government receives it (the NIA I think).
From what I’ve since read online, you need to get all your paperwork done within 14 days of the date on your cancel contract agreement. To make matters more complicated, my new school is now convinced that I cannot simply change the company that supports my ARC but that I must get a completely new ARC.
I’m so confused and concerned that I’m now staying here illegally and I have no idea how to resolve the situation. Any advice?
