Hi everyone,

I currently hold a student ARC and I’m looking to extend it. However, I’m in a situation as I’m currently on a long-term visiting scholar position at a university abroad as part of my graduate studies. This means I have a new address in a different country. Since I’m being paid by my university as a graduate student and require a work permit, I need to figure out how to handle the address for extending my ARC.

I would appreciate any advice or guidance from anyone who has been in a similar situation. Specifically, I’m wondering if having an address abroad would still be valid for the ARC extension process.
