Canada has consistently missed its immigration targets over the past several years. This means that Canada did not attract or accept the number of immigrants it wanted to attract. The Government of Canada has set an immigration target of 1 per cent of the population.
In 2002, the Canadian Government implemented a new Immigration Act, entitled the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. It has set out new rules and requirements for almost all forms of Immigration to Canada. Some categories have been expanded and made easier for applicants; others have been made more difficult. Since that time, the government has made several significant regulation and processing changes that will impact immigration applications.
One thing that will not change is that there are many ways to come to Canada either permanently or temporarily. Jurmain Law Office will simplify the often complicated process of immigration and attend to all matters of an application, explaining any confusing details and attempting to deal with any potential trouble spots before they develop into problems. Problems can mean refused applications, or could cause significant delays. We are knowledgeable about the immigration process and know exactly what needs to be done, and the quickest, least expensive way to do it. For example, although Independent Immigration is assessed on a point system, there are possible routes to increase points if one does not qualify, such as Arranged Employment bonus points. We can help you effectively present your application to take advantage of these areas.
It is also important to know before you get started, whether you are likely to be accepted. Jurmain Law Office is not in the business of processing applications of persons who are likely to fail. We know immigration can be a costly and time consuming process. If you have questions about whether you qualify, please feel free to contact us. An Immigration Assessment service is available on the Citizenship and immigration Canada website by clicking here.
There are many immigration service providers on the Internet, including paralegals and immigration consultants. Citizenship and Immigration Canada only formally recognizes lawyers who are registered with a Provincial Law Society or consultants who are registered with CSIC. However, it is our belief that it is in your best interest to choose a certified attorney to assist you in your application. Lawyers in Canada are subject to licensing and strict requirements of duty, fairness and accountability. For example, Canadian lawyers are required to maintain trust accounts for clients’ monies, and lawyers are forbidden from earning interest from these accounts. Lawyers are obviously accountable for their trust accounts.
Lawyers in Canada are also insured against negligent loss by a client. No other service provider can make this claim.
Lastly, and importantly, no immigration service provider, whether lawyer or nonlawyer, can guarantee success in immigrating to Canada.
