An experienced Canada immigration attorney is intimately familiar with the
intricacies of Canadian immigration laws. In addition, the length of time during
which a has practiced directly translates into very valuable experience
with the immigration system, which cannot be replaced by any amount of study.
Not all individuals or firms claiming to represent applicants in the Canadian
immigration process are attorneys, however. There may be risks to using a Canada
immigration consultant in certain cases.
Having relatives in Canada
Having a close relative who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in
Canada gives the applicant additional points.
Credit given for experience gained in conjunction with post-secondary
studies
There is a lack of consistency in the treatment
of this type of experience among the different visa officers. Teaching experience
is of little use because "teachers" are not on the open list. Research experience
may be credited if, in conducting it, the applicant has performed some or most
of the essential elements of the intended occupation. |
