I am afraid yet to ask the question from the immigration law firm/lawyer that I hired because I might get turned down... and so I am posting here first to seek opinion from anyone.
Here are the facts:
1) I seek assistance from an immigration law firm/lawyer to help me w/ my immigration process sometime in Sept 2006. Contract was signed and I paid initial down payment amounting to CA$1500.
2) I did not yet submit any of my documents due to a change of mind and informed my lawyer about it with the information that I plan on pursuing my application instead this year of 2009. He replied with "That's fine but if immigration laws change, i will not be responsible".
3) However, upon checking on the CIC website this year in time w/ my plan to pursue application, I have seen that my work experience is not listed among the 38 job listed on site. Meaning, eligibility to apply is now not possible.
Now, I am not sure if I can seek refund from the lawyer whom I paid my initial down payment.
I would appreciate anyone's opinion or advise about my situation. Thanks!
