Just married sponsoring wife

[clement52]

This sounds like a shady consultant not a lawyer...well if you don't want to speak up then how can we really help? 6 months of wasted time is A LOT as from what I seen from outbound app espcially from the Philippans, they are landing in Canada on a 7-8 months timeframe. I wish you all the best my friend!

He is a consultant not a lawyer

If I ruffle his feathers can he break our contract?

He shouldn't be able to no. Unless he has some sort of shady clause in the contract. You are only getting him to do his job. At this point in time he is not doing his job and you have every right to ask him to speed the process up. I don't know how much you are paying, but from what I hear consultants are not cheap. If you are unsure, ask him to see the contract (If you have not seen it already), but don't be afraid of getting this guy to do the job properly.

Sorry I wasn't prying. That is a ridiculous amount of money for something you can basically do yourself. Hopefully you get a speedy result. Good luck.

No problem I don't mind telling.actually ,I thought it was cheap compared to others I checked . Does the marriage thing affect permanent residence applications

I would say no. Shouldn't make any difference how long you have been married.

 

[shalenabennie]

He s going for vacation so he figured its better to do it in person

I understand what your saying, but her forms should have been completed months ago. You app should have been submitted months ago

 

[clement52]

I hate such shady consultants. @clement52 how much did you pay? Try to talk to him (strongly) and tell him that you will get the documents signed by your wife and get her to courier them over. Tell him that you guys have dated for a long time so being married for a year doesn't make a difference. Tell him long distance s*cks and there's no point in waiting and trying to save some money on courier. If you have dated for a long time and if you have enough evidence to prove that (like chat logs and photos), there's really no point in waiting. I am so pissed at your consultant right now...

Yep he knows all that,I sent him a nice message today,told him exactly what was on my mind,without swear words

Realistically, the vast majority of these apps don't need any kind of professional help, so any money at all is too much. Basically, if you'd done it yourself when you got married, you would have been halfway through the process by now.

Either way, the fact that he's stalling and giving you wrong info is a major red flag. I wouldn't trust someone like that with my case at all.

It is cheap and you are getting what you paid for, which is an incompetant consultant.

Thanks for your input.i sent the consultant a stern message about the comments on here and my opinion on what should be done. Yes, I could have applied myself but had no clue and for other reasons for her PR, she didn't have access to computers.i also figured a consultant would be an asset. He replied to my message to say he will send a more detailed message later
