Immigration to Canada is an attractive prospect for many people given the country’s natural beauty, multicultural society and prosperous economy. Applying for Canadian permanent residency, however, can be a time consuming and stressful process which deters many from eventually achieving the new life they seek.

Canada's immigration regulations are strict and mistakes easy to make, resulting in the need for frequent corrections and lengthy re-application delays. Such delays cost money in extra administration fees, on top of the difficulty of having to repeatedly postpone your actual moving arrangements, re-book flights, delay new arrangements in your destination country, etc.

While it may be tempting to apply for immigration to Canada without using a registered immigration agent, the likelihood of such delays and extra expenses mean that this decision is often a false economy. Industry feedback indicates that an estimated 30% of all applicants who lodge their own applications, get it wrong and fail. This can cause confusion and frustration with the process. Many find it hard to get the answers to their specific concerns or questions which, in many cases, causes applicants to change their minds about immigrating altogether.

A registered Canada Immigration Consultant can firstly ensure that your application paperwork is in order, to avoid the possibility of having to re-apply. They will complete all eligibility criteria, gather all required supporting documentation and present your application in the manner expected by the Canadian immigration authorities. A registered consultant will also be able to advise you on any new policies or requirements that may arise during your immigration process. Without such knowledgeable assistance, your application might be refused despite being initially correct. If you are considering immigrating to Canada, you should explore your options before you decide to apply by yourself. Remember you want to save time, effort and money!
