It saddens me that so many people are so desperate to get to Canada that they are willing to believe any fairy tale told.

There is NO EASY WAY INTO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, will people just realize that Canadian pavements are not paved with gold....that you will not become Mayor of Vancouver.....and it takes a bloody long time to get PR, no matter what class you apply for.

And agrees with PM....the written English in these emails are a huge red flag.....goodness if they scam people with such obvious mistakes, most folks have no chance against the real expert scammers.....

:( :( :(

It is based on trust. You are using the forum hosted for by Campbell and Cohen (Immigration Lawyers). They were honest. When I was starting my "journey" to Canada, I took the site's free assessment and they said that I did not have the needed points (67) to qualify under any of the immigration routes. So that's it; they will not give you false hopes or ask for money if you don't qualify.

Don't lose hope. There are pleny of good consultants and lawyers out there if you search them out. Follow a few key steps:

1. Don't believe any job offer that comes via email when you have not spoken to anyone or ever been interviewed. If it seems to good to be true, IT IS!
2. Check out any lawyer or consultant through their regulatory bodies. They MUST be registered with a provincial law society in Canada (for lawyers) or with the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (for consultants). If they are not registered, they are NOT legitimate.
3. Charging you money to find you a job in Canada is illegal. No more needs to be said about that. If you have a legitimate job offer then a lawyer or consultant CAN charge you money to prepare your work permit application but it is YOUR choice whether or not you hire them to do so. No employer can compel you to hire a representative.
4. Research any company that offers you a job. Google is a wonderful tool. If they don't have a legitimate Canadian address and telephone number, they are NOT real.
5. Don't believe anyone who says they can GUARANTEE you anything. There are NO guarantees in Canadian immigration. At most, a competent person will give you a likelihood of success. Ultimately, it all comes down to the visa officer to make the decision. I've seen plenty of good applications done by legitimate lawyers and consultants refused at the visa office where they've used the catch-all reason of "lack of significant ties" as the reason for refusal. These cases were not the fault of the lawyer or consultant. Sometimes you just get a NO.

I could go on and on. Trust your instincts. If it smell like fish, it probably is fish. Accept that this will NOT be easy and stop believing those who tell you what you want to hear rather than those who will give you an honest opinion to the best of their ability.
