Legal Aid does not work on immigration cases, at least not in this Province (NS).
Legal aide does not accept all asylum cases . My sister works for legal aide and they will only take VERY strong cases , with evidence that SUBSTANTIATES their situation . They won’t use their limit resources on weak cases. As she said “ Legal Aide is not obligated to take the case .
That’s very very interesting information. When I called them they did not even asked to me how strong my case or any evidence. I just told them I want to do refugee claim and the reason. That’s it.
That's not true. I called them they just asked basic questions like from which country I came and how much money I have got. They assigned the lawyer while I was on the call with them without asking any questions on my case. Legal aid takes cases based on financial factors, not strong or weak cases, this is for the member to decide on the case.
Don't know about NS but that's what legal aid for, they provide legal assistance for all kind of cases, specially and the big portion is immigration.
you are right, that's all they ask for. They don't care about the case since this is the lawyer's problem to deal with.
