Canada Immigration Lawyer

Canadian Immigration law is complex with a wide range of available visa programs. Navigating through the whole immigration system to choose the program that is suitable in your situation is often difficult, preparing documents and making sure the application process is properly followed are even more challenging. An immigration lawyer or agent, with their knowledge and extensive experience might help you through the process to achieve your immigration goal.

How can a lawyer/ agent help you in your immigration goal?

Immigration and citizenship representatives:

  • explain and give advice on your immigration or citizenship options.
  • help you choose the best immigration program for you.
  • fill out and submit your immigration or citizenship application.
  • communicate with the Government of Canada on your behalf.
  • represent you in an immigration or citizenship application or hearing.
  • advertise that they can give immigration or citizenship advice.

 

Find out if your lawyer/ agent is authorised to give migration assistance

In Canada, only people who are authorised by the government can give migration assistance as service. You can check if a person is licensed to represent immigrants or to give advice.

If they are not members in good standing, you should not use their services.

Most law societies let you check online to see if a person is a member in good standing.
