Hiring a Canadian immigration lawyer is not mandatory. Citizenship and Immigration Canada make clear that no special attention will be paid to a file as the result of using representation. So why hire an experienced Canadian immigration attorney instead of applying on your own?
The reality is, while some Canadian immigration procedures and forms may appear simple, the legal considerations and ramifications that pertain are highly complex. Far too often our firm is contacted to do damage control after a situation has escalated. The consequences of not getting it right the first time range from costly delays to a negative decision, and most errors made by those who self-represent would have been avoided by an experienced Canadian immigration lawyer. When a mandate is entrusted to our firm, the client benefits from experienced and talented professionals who collaborate on every file and adhere to a strict code of ethics.
