Is it better to go with an agent or self?

Hey!
Would it be better for me to get a visitor VISA mul entry with the help of an agent or do it on my own. I atleast want a 5 year multiple entry visa. Do you think it is easy?

Hi there, my experience says doing it yourself is the best way to go and you have this forum for any guidance you need. But thats only my personal opinion.

What is your purpose of visit? Why do you need a multiple visa? How much travel history do you have in the past 5 years (excluding country of residence and country of nationality if they are different)

You need to show solid ties to the country of your residence and be able to convince the visa officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit.

At the end of it, noone can guarantee whether you will get a multiple at all. Its purely at the discretion of the visa officer. You can make a solid application and hope for the best.

Having a cerified authorized representative will not guarantee the approval of your visa, they will just help you in the application process to get you a strong case for your visa approval. Personally, the cic website got enough information plus this forum. Hence, I don't reccommend having an agent to represent you, they will just burn your money, sorry to say that

Totally agree with albert. Though I find it quite confusing, it looks like you have posted on several other forums saying you have already applied in July?

Doesn't matter, when I applied last 2015 with the help of an agent, I got refused coz they didn't even ask me to prepare an detail itinerary and avoid inconsistent money flow of my bank account but if only I search more before I could just do by myself and prepare well thru this forum informative source. So just get well prepared with your docs and apply online.
I'm thinking to apply again but kinda hesitant to get refuse again although my circumstance has changed. So just prob wait till my husband can visit me instead.

Hi M.Mirza,

Yes, The first time I applied is via a Law firm, they charged me 500 CAN + visa fee. But Unfortunately It got refused. The second time, I applied alone via VFS Riyadh. I will be getting my passport on sunday

All Tourist Visa application bound to canada is considered Multiple Entry. But still depends on the discretion of the VO
