From your previous post, I don't think you need a attorney to handle your immigration procedure. Complete and submit the application forms yourself. It's not hard.

If you really want, you can contact the owner of this website for assessment.

A. The processing fees, which must be paid when you submit your sponsorship application, consist of the following:

•$75 for the sponsor;
•$475 for a principal applicant (the person being sponsored) who is 22 years of age or older, or who is married or in a common-law or conjugal relationship, regardless of age;

B. The Right of Permanent Residence Fee, which may be paid at the same time as the processing fees or afterwards, but before the application for permanent residence of the person you want to sponsor can be finalized, is:

•$490 for a principal applicant

so is there a landing fee we would have to pay when we finally move back to Canada ? If so how much

We hired an immigration consultant which was half the price of a lawyer and I am still glad that we did. This is an important process in your life and unless you are very thorough and understand every little thing about this process then I would definitely hire someone.

I did a lot of research and hired a lawyer -- there was just enough uncertainty about my wife and I's situation that I didn't want to take a chance. The lawyer I went with has a "money-back guarantee", which really just means they won't accept a case unless they're certain it'll be successful. They've been really helpful along the way and took care of the majority of the work, giving us great peace of mind... at a price, of course! I'd say if you can afford it and it's worth it to you, you should hire a consultant or lawyer. Just do your research first!
