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.

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?

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.

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.

For example, I live in Canada. If I wanted to immigrate to the United Kingdom and wanted to hire a representative, I could not use a CSIC member or Canadian lawyer unless they were also certified or called to the bar in the UK as well. I know you understand what I mean. There is plenty of fraud out there when it comes to Canadian immigration, with lots of lawyers and so-called consultants in foreign countries claiming they can represent people for immigration to Canada. Consumers must be aware of who is authorized and who isn't so they can better protect themselves. The Canadian government cannot punish a crooked lawyer or consultant who is NOT registered with the appropriate authority IN Canada.
