Is there a need for hiring an Immigration attorney or consultant

[dks2323]

I have the same issue right now, I need to provide few LOE in my case, but I don't know how to prepare it, I didn't mention anything about representative in my application, can I still use someone to help me out in my process ?

yes, you can add representative anytime while your application is in progress....send a CSE with signed representative form and your LOE....you will be fine....

My personal view on this is that the Canadian immigration system is extremely clear and straightforward; unless your case is a tricky one, you feel uncomfortable using a computer or scanning documents, or you are really bad at following instructions, there is absolutely no need to hire an immigration consultant or lawyer. For most of the questions you see around here, you can easily and clearly find the answer on the CIC website (e.g. do I need to submit PCC? do I need to upload all the passport pages or just the bio one?) and most of the rejections are due to people not reading carefully and following instructions (e.g. expired IELTS, forgetting to upload passport (!!)).

The trickiest part is getting the job reference letters in the format CIC requires and it is tricky not because the instructions are not clear but because that's basically the only document that is not under your entire control.

Rightly said! I couldn't agree with you more!

@bamshy: For employer reference letters, do we need the NOC code itself to be mentioned in the letters? Or just roles and responsibilities describing the NOC code suffice?

How many job and responsibilities mostly we required ?

"Proof of work experience" section.

Exactly the point I was making before.

NOC need not be mentioned in reference letter(s).

Simple answer: unless your case is complicated, do it yourself. It does not look something that needs consultant. But if you pay you will have peace of mind for your hesitation and less strain.

Thanks a lot. We have decided to go forward on our own without a consultant.
