Is there any advantages of having a representative? They charge more than your application fee.

As Rupesh gracefully directed u, that link is 'all u need' to know anything & everything on your query.

Rejoinder: On your apps front -No advantages. On an advisory front -The representative might provide u the same information/advice as u'll get from such forums... he/she -at a price... forums -for Free.

Regards.

No advantage at all. There are some disadvantages, like-monetary loss,delay in submission of application as well as for the whole process, no initiative will be taken by themselves, always have to give reminder to do something, etc. etc. etc...... Better try yourself, self help is the best help.

Thanks and regards.

If you do not have time and cannot take out time reading the application guide and other documents, then hiring a representative will just be an operational advantage. It will not add any other advantage to you file and your case will be always treated normally as other applicant case will be treated.

Hi,

I do agree. If the applicant read the instructions and follow them, the procedure is simple. Finally once completed, compare with the check list, at least twice to ensure any omissions. There can be some questions confusing the applicant. In case of any querry and doubt arise while completing the application requirements, the Discussion Forum members are always there providing quick answer and proper guidance. From my understanding ( I never approached a representative) some lawyers/Consultants are not at all supportive and the applicant has to do everything. They submit the application to CIC and act like a mediator between the CIC and applicant. Their remuneration is considerably high for the task what they carry out..
