Sorry I missed your answer and I just saw it.
Are you applying for H&C or PR after being accepted as a protected person?
My refugee case approved January, 2023. I am convention refugee. We applied pr 30th May, 2023.
Hi ,
Yes, I had lawyer for my refugee claim. For pr, I applied with an organization. I had no lawyer for pr application. I did not pay anything to the organization. But for pr fee 570 Cad per person.
Thank you so much for your reply.
You don't have to work with lawyer for pr. Mine ask too much money. I mean I don't have that much for lawyer. No for pr no legal aid.
Thank you so much for your guidance.
There is no need to have a lawyer for apply for PR. Given the limited funds available to legal aid and the fact that you are just filling out paperwork not actually fighting to remain in Canada many will not cover filing for PR. As previously noted some charities that work with refugees help people fill out the PR applications especially if there is a language barrier. Would suggest looking at the application process online. I think you may be surprised that it is not as complex as you may be expecting. You may be able to apply yourself or find an organization that either helps you fill out the application or reviews your application before submitting it. Save your money and don’t hire a lawyer to fill out the forms for you. Most visas and permits are possible to complete yourself without the use of a consultant or lawyer. Many pay to apply for things like TRVs when they could have easily applied themselves.
