Hi all,

I'm based in New Zealand and the closest CIS office is in Sydney, Australia.

I've read conflicting advice online about the ideal location for your immigration consultant/lawyer. Would it be best to use someone in my country, someone close to the closest CIS office, or someone in Canada?

Thanks,

Jamie

I would say someone closest to you will be always better

Another option is to file without an immigration lawyer/consultant. Many people here have DIY.
