Arthur was educated at Ottawa Collegiate Institute, and University College, Toronto. After the war, Bourinot received his legal training from Osgoode Hall Law School.
Graduating in 1915, Arthur found a job as a civil servant in Canada's Department of Indian Affairs, but almost immediately took a leave of absence to serve in World War I. He served overseas in the Canadian Army and Royal Flying Corps (later the Royal Air Force). He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1920. He practiced law in Ottawa until retiring in 1959.
Bourinot began publishing poetry as an undergraduate, and brought out his first book, the slim 24-poem "Laurentian Lyrics and Other Poems" in December, 1915.
Bourinot edited the Canadian Poetry Magazine from 1948 to 1954 and from 1966 to 1968. He was editor of Canadian Author and Bookman from 1953 to 1954, and an associate editor from 1957 to 1960. During that period he began to edit and privately publish volumes of the correspondence of Scott, Lampman, and Edward William Thomson.
