Topic: When do you get IA after file is transfered to local office?
I will like to know how long it takes to receive IA after your file has been transfered to a local processing center like Los Angeles, Detroit, Seattle, NYC or any other. Can any one share their experience? Can you tell if one center is faster or better in respomding to applicants than the other centers? What center has a faster rate of issuing the IA? What center has the faster rate of issuing PPR? What center do you think is better with applicants and the process? Is there any particular reason why they send some applications to different offices? Is there any reason they send an application to one particular local office instead of another? Please, share your experiences, knowledge, ideas and opinions. |
Topic: is it useful to get a lawyer?
Hello,
From my own research on here, doing it yourself or hiring a lawyer is up to you. But I will share my opion with you.
Using a lawyer, should be done before you submit your application, because they guide you when filing out the forms. They make sure you submit everything requested by CIC. If your application is granted, good. If its declined, a Canadian lawyer can get your CAIPS notes to see why it was declined. You cannot do that yourself.
Doing it yourself, I will recommend you follow the instructions and make sure submit everything requested. I mean everything especially the IELTS exam that most people do not send in their intial package. When a completed application is submitted, it is a waiting game after that. Hoping you get a reply from them as soon as they get to your file and do all the verifications they have to do.
To get a lawyer is costly but gives some people peace of mind. To do it yourself is free, but, make sure you follow all the instructions very well to avoid unnecessary delays in your own process.
Anybody looking for a lawyer should ask around. I am using a lawyer. They are good and have close to 100% success rate and they have a money-back guarantee policy. So, if you are interested in hiring a lawyer, ask and people will give you different websites where you can go and do your own research and decide for yourself. |
