Can we contact IRCC directly for PR questions before submitting the application?

[Zoide]

I have several questions about the documents required for my Permanent Residence application.

While this forum has been very helpful, there is a lot of conflicting advice so I'd like to get definitive answers from IRCC itself.

However, their website states that:

"You can contact IRCC through the following options if you have submitted an application from within Canada or online and:

the normal processing time for your application has passed and you cannot verify the status of your application using the online application status tool or
you wish to report important changes about your application, such as births, deaths, marriages, divorces, adoptions, changes in job status or
you need urgent processing or
you would like to make a refugee claim"

(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp)

However, the whole reason I'd like to contact IRCC is to make sure my application meets all the requirements before submitting it.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks

1. No, the Call Centre won't help you complete your application, you will have to either follow instructions on www.cic.gc.ca or hire a consultant or lawyer to help you.

That's disappointing

How much might it cost me to get a lawyer who specializes in Canadian PR applications to advise me and my wife and check our application to make sure everything is in order?

Thanks
