Immigration procedures often appear effortless, but the reality is far from being effortless. Every day we come across stories of people who face visa rejection as a result of the negligent application process. Canada welcomed up to 110,000 immigrants out of the 332,331 Express Entry applications it received in 2019. As the competition to obtain a Permanent Residence escalates, the question of the hour becomes, “Who should I hire to represent me in Canadian immigration?”
The immigration process is not a cakewalk; it’s time-consuming, stressful, and overwhelmingly uncertain. Moreover, Canadian immigration law and procedure are far more intricate and complex than what one may presume. For these reasons, it is natural that an applicant has several reservations while deciding who to approach for their Permanent Residence application process. A recent Canadian report shows that applications submitted either by applicants themselves or by consultants have high chances of visa rejection. When an immigration lawyer files an application, it results in better decisions and a high rate of visa success. Self –represented applications tend to contain a large number of clerical errors. But these innocent errors might cost an applicant his/her future. Consultancies, on the other hand, are monetarily motivated. They lack the relevant knowledge, expertise and may even prove to be detrimental to your immigration goals. Consequently, an inexperienced consultant may push you towards an immigration program that doesn’t align with your previous experience and skill set, thereby resulting in visa rejection.
A Canadian immigration lawyer comes equipped with a thorough understanding and knowledge of the Canadian immigration regime. They are trained to handle Immigration procedures and documentation efficiently. Lawyers view immigration as a ‘service’ as opposed to a ‘business.’ The ethical standards they meet owing to the law society regulations shall also prove to be advantageous to the applicant.
The debate on immigration lawyers versus consultants is not of recent origin. Although, this debate has resurfaced due to a hike in visa rejection, travel ban, and scandals associated with consultant- aided immigration process. A primary reason behind such incidents would be the ease at which one can become an immigration consultant. Currently, an immigration consultant must graduate from an accredited immigration practitioner program along with a minimum language requirement to be registered. An immigration lawyer, whereas, has to undergo years of meticulous study, followed by articling and bar enrolment from being able to practice.
Immigration lawyers are highly qualified professionals who adhere to the immigration rules and policies of the Canadian government. A visa officer would reject or request clarification for an incomplete or wrongly filled application. This may cause a significant delay to an already complicated procedure. An immigration lawyer can assure you thorough documentation and can avoid unwarranted delays in your application procedure. At present, there are over 80 immigration pathways, and it requires ample knowledge of the immigration rules, the legal system, employment scenario, economic situation, and consideration of various other factors to prescribe the right immigration pathway. Only an immigration lawyer is skilled in doing such a multifaceted task. Here are a few benefits of hiring an immigration lawyer over a consultant:
