It is great that you offer immigration services; however, people should know that they do not need to hire someone for this purpose as applications sent using an agent/representative receive no special treatment. The applications are easy to fill out and you only have to pay the Canadian government fees, not any further fees for the use of an agent/representative - so it is cheaper to do it yourself.

Immigration Representatives

Notice:
Read this important notice about who may represent you.

Who does this affect?

Individuals, whether in Canada or abroad, seeking to hire a representative with regard to their immigration application or status.

You are not obliged to hire a representative for immigration matters. The Government of Canada treats everyone equally, whether they use the services of a representative or not. If you choose to hire a representative, your application will not be given special attention nor can you expect faster processing or a more favourable outcome.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) realizes that the use of a representative to assist in completing your immigration application is a personal choice. Please note, the Government of Canada does not recommend or endorse any individual representative.

Dear Kenelli

You are very right in saying that "Clients who have lawyers are not given any "special treatment" on their application, though 9 out 10 people will still try to hire lawyers, representative for representing their cases, because of certain valid reasons, and probably some of them I would like to highlight them.

Do you think, that a person who has never handled an immigration application before will be able to get his/her application through the immigration bureaucracy as quickly, predictably, and successfully as someone who has filed that type of application dozens of times before.

Immigration practitioners are generally faster, not because they are given special treatement, but because they avoid delays in a number of ways:

1. By being able to accurately predict how immigration officials might resolve a particular issue, practitioners can avoid filing an application that is likely headed for failure.

2. The practitioner knows what type of documentary proof is needed to prove critical facts. Immigration officers can refuse an application without notic if the evidentiary material filed is not persuasive. Filing a new application will return the applicant to the back of the line.

3. Once the application is filed, the practitioner knows the tempo of the process i.e. what should be happening and when. If something does not seem right, s/he can immediately take corrective measures. The self-represented person has no such experience to guide him / her.

4. The experienced practitioner will know how and who to contact when things do get off-track. The department is particularly adept at avoiding communications with clients since any form of correspondence is viewed as an obstruction to the management of its caseload. Knowing how to reach a helpful officer is invaluable.

5. If the application is refused, the practitioner is likely to appeal on time. Self-represented people often allow the appeal period to expire while they are attempting to resolve the problem. This leaves them no choice but to reapply.

As long as people read up on representatives and read the government pages and the application documents first - then they can decide whether they need the help of a representative or not. As the government page says, it is a personal choice whether people will use a representative or not. I simply want to let people know that they can definitely do it without and save hundreds or thousands of dollars that they would otherwise pay to a representative.
