Do I Need a Lawyer to Immigrate to Canada?

But note, no preferential treatment will be given to your for making use of an immigration lawyer or consultant. An immigration lawyer is just there to help you with the following:

  • Immigration application
  • Representing you to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Types of Immigration Lawyers

An immigration lawyer or consultant can either be paid or unpaid.

Unpaid immigration lawyers can either be one of your family membersor friends, or even a same member as you in a religious organization; but a paid immigration lawyer must be registered with the:

  • ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council)
