@STEAKY, damn true I have heard of lawyers who have messed up peoples' paperwork. And when you go seek their service they make you believe they know the process in and out and if you do it yourself you are not going to be successful. One told me that I cant read whats on CIC website and complete the docs myself because the immigration law is over 5000 pages. And because I was out status when I sent my application in he told me that I'd have to pay him 1500$ to apply for status for me because i wasnt even qualified for restoration of status. I just sent in an OWP application hoping that I can get a work permit by time I am assessed for first stage. Thats what they advised me to do when I called the call centre
