pour en arriver là

Hello, 

05/10/2018 Writing Challenge 'Congratulations on your degree'

The translation of "We know that you worked hard to get there..." = "Nous savons que tu as travaillé dur pour en arriver là" 

Is it also possible to say "pour y arriver"? Why "en" if the verb is "arriver à"?

Thanks.

You best consider "pour en arriver là" as idiomatic expression, meaning "to get there".
