When you hired your Lawyer, did you not ask him any questions? Did he not give you a quotation for his fees and service? I would think these are the first things you would ask.ayanab7 said:Hi all,

Only Canadian lawyers, Certified Canadian Immigration Consultants and Quebec Notaries are allowed to represent applicants (for a fee) in Canadian immigration matters. How would a lawyer from his country know the laws about immigrating to Canada?nabil2009 said:where are you from? and why u didnt choose the lawyer from your own country?

They may "know" about it but unless they are a Canadian lawyer registered with the appropriate law society in Canada, they are not legally allowed to represent an applicant and get paid for it.nabil2009 said:All most every country ,they have lawyer who Represent other country immigration case like in UK you will find easy a lawyer who deal with Canadian immigration.

Yes, CSIC members are different. Even lawyers may work internationally if they have offices abroad or an international law firm may employ Canadian lawyers. My point was that ALL CSIC members and Canadian lawyers must be educated, trained and certified (or called to the bar) IN Canada in order to represent applicants for Canadian immigration. Their society fees and insurance must also be kept up to date. I just don't want anyone thinking that a lawyer or consultant in their home country who does NOT meet the above requirements would be authorized to represent them.john baptis said:dear rjessome,
All CSIC members are registered themselves in canada and have offices in abroad such as india and singapore and UK everywhere across the world and yeah for the quistion stated above that his lawyer how he will help him is if he has office in singapore its good otherwise by online but advisable is to find a Full CSIC member or lawyer in singapore .....
thx
