APPLYING FOR A PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS IN CANADA INDEPENDENTLY

Advantages/Disadvantages

Put yourself in the position of an immigration officer assessing a case of a professional or a successful businessman who is using the services of an authorized representative. A number of concerns surface during the course of this evaluation: if an individual is educated and competent, he or she should be capable of filing his/her own application; moreover, if the case is straightforward and there are no dark spots or problematic areas in the application, there is no reason for the candidate to retain representation services. If, however, there are potential difficulties embedded in the individual’s case, it is understandable why he or she employs a representative for assistance. Keeping these factors in mind, the immigration officer is more attentive and alert to the cases where an authorized representative is used. From our experience, those applicants applying independently have much higher chances of going through the process without having to attend an immigration interview. Read more >>
