Do I need the help of a consultant to apply for Canadian PR Visa?

If you are sure about the rules and regulations then you can do it yourself.

Choosing a migration consultant for Canada!!

Do you want to live and work in Canada, but are debating whether you really need to hire an immigration consultant?

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) does not require you to use an immigration consultant or lawyer. If you choose to be advised or represented by a paid consultant, CIC has rules about who can do this.

I have put together following reasons why you should hire an authorized immigration consultant:

1. Knowledge and expertise of the consultant.

There are often very complicated legal procedures involved when you immigrate to Canada, and especially if you’re not well-versed in immigration law, and regulations. I highly recommend that you seek out a professional who will be there to help guide you through the process. Otherwise, you could run the risk of having your application turned down, which could result in even greater difficulties later down the line.

2. Following the rules and regulations.

When you hire an immigration lawyer, it is their responsibility to ensure all documentation is as per current rule and regulations, and submitted on time. It can be all too easy to overlook a necessary requirement on your application but hiring a professional make you stress free.

3. Affordable fees with honest advice.

Most reputable immigration law firms will offer an affordable rate without giving you any false promises. They will genuinely care about providing you with the best possible legal service at a fair price – otherwise, very soon they will have bad reputation.

4. The best chance of success:

Although there are no guarantees that your application for a visa to live and work in Canada will be accepted, you’ll be giving yourself the very best chance of success by hiring a qualified and experienced immigration consultant.r.

5. It is important to work with someone who has proper knowledge and training. Youcan:

• Ask about their experience with the Canadian immigration process
• Ask for references from their recent successes.
• Speak to people who have used them in recent past.
• Find out if they belong to any other professional associations in Canada.
• Ask people you trust to recommend someone.
• Get advice from several people before you choose.
• Check the website of the consultant.
• Check the LinkedIn profile of the consultant.
• Check the ICCRC site to verify that he is approved by the Canadian government.

6. Ask about their training and experience. For instance:

• Find out if they are authorized,
• Ask for references and
• Find out how long they have been in business.
• Discuss the services they will provide and the fee. Get this information in writing.
• Ask questions. Be wary of someone who will not answer your questions.
• Be careful of anything that sounds too good to be true.
• No representative has special access to CIC programs and services. No one can guarantee you a visa.

7. Once you have chosen a representative:

• Make sure you get a written contract. Read it carefully before you sign it. Make sure it lists all the services the representative will give you and clearly states the fee.
• Do not leave original documents or photos with them.
• Do not sign blank application forms.
• Do not sign forms or documents unless you can read them. If you do not understand them, bring someone with you to translate.
• Make sure to get copies of any documents that the representative makes for you.
• Any time you pay them, get a signed receipt.
• Make sure your representative updates you on your application often.
• You must give your representative’s name and contact information on your application form, whether they are paid or not. If your representative says you do not have to, they are wrong.
• If you choose a paid representative who is not a member of one of the designated bodies mentioned below, CIC will return your application to you

8. Types of Consultants:

• Your immigration consultant can be paid or unpaid.
• Examples of unpaid consultants are family members, friends, or members of a religious organization.
• If you choose to be represented by a paid consultant , this person must be in good standing with the:

1. Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) or

2. Any relevant Law Society of Canada

9. Remember—it is up to you to make sure all the information in your application is true and correct. It is against the law to give false or misleading information to CIC

• If anything on your application is false or misleading, you may not be allowed to enter Canada. You could be deported from Canada after you arrive.
• Representatives who tell you to give false or misleading information are also breaking the law.
• If you use a non-authorized paid consultant, your application may be returned to you.
