Immigration Law

Last year the government of Canada missed its immigration targets by 18-25 percent. This means that Canada did not attract or accept the number of immigrants it wanted to attract. In the year 2000, the government of Canada has set an immigration target of 200 000 to
225 000 persons, or approximately 1 per cent of the population.

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. 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 is still a wide area of discretion for Visa Officers to work within. 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. For this reason, we offer free informal assessments of your likelihood of success. Simply fill in the questionnaire and submit it to us.

Why a Lawyer

There are many immigration service providers to be found on the Internet, including paralegals and immigration consultants. 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 licencing 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 of extreme importance, no immigration service provider, whether lawyer or nonlawyer, can guarantee success in immigrating to Canada.
