Stress and Client Involvement

noreply@blogger.com (Khaz Sapenov) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:20:00 +0000

If you conduct your immigration process yourself, you will be aware firsthand of the status of your case. You will not have to worry about contacting your representative and dealing with uncertainty. You will be able to calmly manage your affairs yourself, assured of accuracy of presented information. You will not find yourself in the ambiguous situation when YOU do not exactly know what is written in YOUR immigration forms.
Very often, when using the services of an immigration consultant
or lawyer, the client is forced to send tens of emails and make a number of phone calls to request information from the immigration representative regarding the status of his/her case. Large companies or popular consultants are often forced to ignore many such requests due to a heavy workload. Certainly, this leads to additional stress and increased frustration on the part of the client along with a feeling of restraint on his/her actions.

A psychological deception that often propels people towards a partnership with an immigration firm is that the company will perform the majority of the necessary work and will provide positive results. However, the company is unable to conduct the immigration process on its own; the client must still provide information and documents, check and verify drafts of immigration forms, etc. Here, the immigration firm plays a role of a sometimes-unnecessary mediator, and this is only in that case that the company/consultant is working honestly and conscientiously. Many cases exist when the representing company fills out some documents at its own discretion. When attending the immigration interview, the applicant has no idea what information is actually included in his application. If you maintain complete control of your own immigration case, you raise your chances of success and increase your awareness because you are the interested party.

Time

By applying for permanent residency in Canada independently, you save from 10 to 50% of time it takes to apply with the services of an immigration consultant.

When working with a consulting company, especially if it is a large firm or a well-known immigration consultant who has hundreds of cases under his supervision, the client and his file once again become part of a bureaucratic mechanism. Inside this bureaucratic machine, each email, fax or phone call has a certain queue depending on the amount of workload. Therefore, the client receives each message on average 2 to 4 weeks later that s/he would have received it if it were sent directly to the client from the Embassy.

Typically, during the immigration process, the client receives 4 to 6 messages from the Consulate/Embassy; sometimes, this number rises to 10. In this case, it is easily seen that the process is then delayed for 3 to 6 months and sometimes more. The time loss becomes obvious in the mailing of important documents to the Embassy through the immigration company, which adds another stage to an already prolonged immigration process.

Contract

noreply@blogger.com (Khaz Sapenov) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:17:00 +0000

Absence of a binding contract gives you complete freedom of action in your immigration process.

When an obligatory and permanent retainer is signed between the representing company and its client, both the firm and the client become entrapped in the contract. The client’s trap is his/her difficulty in rejecting the services of the company after the process has already began. This is due to the fact that only a fraction of immigration fees is paid upfront and the client remains the company’s debtor well into the process. Meanwhile, having signed the retainer, the company often does not fully disclose information relevant to the case or delays forwarding documentation to the client until the next installment is received.

Cost

noreply@blogger.com (Khaz Sapenov) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:15:00 +0000

Fill out your application forms yourself and reduce your immigration expenses 5 to 10 times.

The cost of the services of an immigration consultant/lawyer that represents you from the beginning to the end, varies on average from $3000 to $15000. Some companies immediately inform their clients of the upcoming fees, while the rest mention a small payment in the beginning; consequently, larger fees begin to surface, as the client’s dependency on the consultant grows. In contrast, the cost of our services, in case of individual consultations can range from $100 to $1000, depending on the extent of the one-time consultations.

Advantages/Disadvantages

noreply@blogger.com (Khaz Sapenov) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:12:00 +0000

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.

An overwhelming majority of our applicants are educated and literate professionals or businessmen. Imagine yourself in the position of an immigration officer who has received two similar applications for a Permanent Residence in Canada. One is prepared by the applicant him/herself stating that s/he is a professional in his field, for instance agriculture or engineering. The other file is from another applicant who is represented by an immigration consultant or an immigration lawyer. Evidently, the officer will doubt and question the actual literacy and education of a professional who is unable to fill out the applications him/herself. The officer will question the applicant’s command of either of Canada’s official languages and his/her education. Moreover, having come into contact with a large amount of fraudulent documents, altered facts regarding work experience, professional duties and responsibilities, etc. and being aware of the fact that some firms knowingly assist their clients in falsification of documents and information, it is not difficult to imagine the officer’s vigilance. In fact, if an immigration lawyer or consultant represents the applicant from the beginning to the end of the process, the alertness of the immigration official rises. In case of an appeal, special case/non-standard circumstances or argument resolution, representation by an immigration consultant or lawyer is understandable. However, such cases are limited in number. A commonly held opinion in some circles that representation by an immigration firm or a well-known immigration consultant gives one an advantage is a misconception and a myth often driven by the immigration representatives themselves.
