Any good visa agent lawyers in Bangkok to assist?

Hey everyone, ironically coming from this thread I saw on Google today, as I'm in a similar situation

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/any-experience-about-the-thai-wifes-application-or-notarization-stuff.866301/

Just was curious if it was worth hiring a local lawyer in Bangkok to help, if any of them have enough experience with Canada which I don't know but I'm guessing hard to find. I'm not even sure it would be worth it really but in the case that someone has hired before and had positive experience I'd love to know about it.... I did search Google briefly but most of them seem focused on Australia and the UK or US

(Not only for Thai notary service but a lawyer with real Canada immigration experience in Bangkok)

Sometimes I'm going to be gone from Thailand during this process and having my wife get some guidance in both Thai/English might be worth it. But I know many people just do everything by themselves, just thought I would ask

Up to you, but in general spousal sponsorships - straightforward ones - usually don't require legal assistance. But if you'd like it, fine - just be cautious as non-Canadian registered ones have effectively no oversight. If application prepared carefully, most of the rest of the process is waiting.

If you as sponsor are not residing in/not established in Canada, that may require more follow-up.

Agreed with armoured here. As a Thai person who did the PR myself (I didn't want the husband to prepare the document - because he is not good at it), I can assure you that it is really doable and straightforward. As long as you follow the checklist (IMM 5533 E) and make sure everything they require is there and that you wait and wait. However, I know some who use the service from the lawyer. If you want me to ask them? Again, need to be really careful if they are non-Canadian registered ones.

If you want to work through a lawyer, do it through a Canadian immigration lawyer in Canada who specializes in this, not one in Bangkok who has knowledge across immigration programs of different countries but not deep expertise. This is how applications get screwed up. Either do it yourself or hire the right representation.
