Whatever your interest in Canada, a
Canadian-based lawyer who practices Canadian immigration law
exclusively can be of great assistance to you. I am a member
in good standing of the Law Society of Upper Canada (Ontario),
the Canadian Bar Association (Immigration Section), and the
American Bar Association (International Associate Member). To
date, I have helped over a thousand people from all over the
world with their applications for Permanent Residence in
Canada. The opportunity to be exposed to such a large volume
of applicants has allowed me to develop the required skills,
necessary insights and confidence to assist those who have an
interest in immigrating to Canada under Canada’s different
immigrant categories.
The small investment in obtaining
professional legal assistance with the immigration application
process makes sense for the following reasons:
|
- To assess your case at the initial stage of the
immigration process to determine whether you are eligible to
immigrate to Canada under any one or more of Canada’s
immigrant programs so that you do not commence the
application process prematurely or needlessly,
- To inform you in advance of the kind of criteria a visa
officer is looking for when evaluating your chances of
success,
- To provide you with information on how you may become
eligible for Permanent Residence in Canada in the event that
you do not qualify at the present time under any of Canada’s
immigrant categories,
- To prepare your application (including the required
application forms and supporting documents to initiate the
procedure) in the best and most efficient way and according
to the way the authorities require so as to ensure smooth
processing,
- To devise the best strategy and select the most
appropriate Canadian Embassy/High Commission with which to
file your application for Permanent Residence in Canada
given your location and particular needs,
- To highlight all of your strengths and address any
weaknesses in the presentation of your application to the
authorities,
- To prepare you for the interview stage of the process
or, alternatively, assist you in having the interview stage
waived altogether,
- To ensure that your application receives the fairest
treatment possible,
- To represent you before the proper immigration
authorities, where necessary,
- To advise you on all matters related to your immigration
interests so that you will have peace of mind before and
after you arrive in Canada.

What are further benefits of engaging
the services of a lawyer who exclusively practices Canadian
immigration law?
Issues often arise that are more complex than
most applicants (and many visa officers and immigration
consultants) fully understand and which merit the
participation of an experienced Canadian lawyer. For example,
Canadian and Quebec Immigration laws and regulations allow for
the extensive use of discretionary authority by immigration
officers. A Canadian immigration lawyer can recognize the
presence of irregularities in the use of discretionary
authority and intervene with the visa office on an ongoing
basis where required. A diligent lawyer will ensure that
unresolved irregularities are raised within the proper delays,
and that the issues in question are properly addressed before
the appropriate
authorities.
