The Importance of Hiring The Right Immigration Lawyer
Last Updated: March 31, 2022
We all know that the process of immigration can be challenging which is why people require professionals to help guide them through the process. People trust immigration lawyers with their money, their belongings & also their families. Yet, what happens when an immigration consultant decides to take advantage of the trust that you put in them. One of the largest problems in the world of Canadian immigration is fraudulent consultants, also known as “ghost” consultants. Our office has seen people who were defrauded in terrible ways by FAKE immigration consultants. It not only shatters the other person emotionally yet also impacts them financially.
Cases like these are common. There are consultants out there who instead of helping out those people in need see their situation as a way to gain monetary benefits. Is every immigration agency corrupt? No, there are licensed immigration attorneys in UAE who understand that after spending years on their extensive education that they are morally obligated to guide people in a professional and ethical manner. Before consulting & trusting any immigration firm, one should do thorough research and check the companies’ credentials with the regulatory authorities.
Different countries (such as Australia) use different terminology for their legal professionals, but in Canada, migration consultants, migration agents, immigration practitioners, advisors, specialists, and counsellors do not exist. These are terms that people without a license to practice Canadian immigration use to look more legitimate when a client may not know the difference.
Several bogus immigration websites can lure you with high-paying employment opportunities in Canada. The main goal of these firms is to defraud you by stealing your money and leaving you stranded by stealing your personal information.
How To Identify An Immigration Scam
If you find websites promising employment offers in Canada or someone saying that immigration is guaranteed, you should be cautious that they are faking it to entice you. Such material would never be posted on the internet by genuine immigration professionals. Genuine immigration lawyers recognize that unanticipated problems might arise at any time when getting a visa. An authorized immigration consultant will never promise you visa approval, but they will always ensure you that they will remain by your side throughout the entire procedure if any difficulties arise.
Here Are Some Strategies For Avoiding Immigration Fraud:
Hiring an immigration attorney is not mandatory
Yes, you read that correctly. It is not required to employ an immigration attorney to handle your application. Despite this, we recommend that you hire one to keep the process easy and seamless because they have a wealth of expertise as a result of their education. There is also a lower possibility of your application being refused.
If you want your visa processing to be less difficult and time-consuming, contact ACE. We can help you make your desire of migrating to Canada a reality with the assistance of our licensed immigration lawyers.
Check To See Whether A Person Is Authorized To Represent Immigrants or Provide Advice
Before handing an immigration consultant money or entrusting them with your personal information, you may always ask to see their qualifications & verify their credentials. If the consultant avoids the issue or attempts to deviate from it, you know you shouldn’t trust them.
ACE’s immigration lawyers are licensed and have appropriate credentials. Our immigration attorneys are members of the Canadian Bar Association, the Law Society of Ontario, the Toronto Lawyer Association, and other professional organizations, so you may be confident that they are qualified to provide immigration assistance.
Stay Away From False Claims
Official immigration websites do not advertise extravagant deals such as guaranteed Canadian visas, work permits, free-flying tickets, housing, scholarships, or high-paying employment. Any agency that posts such adverts is seeking to defraud potential victims. Only authorized personnel at Canadian embassies, high commissioners, and consulates have the authority to grant or deny a visa. So avoid advisors that promise you a 100 percent certainty of visa acceptance.
Be Wary of Consultants Who Demand Additional Fees
The processing fees are the same at all Canadian visa offices worldwide. Local currency fees are calculated using official exchange rates and equate to the amount in Canadian dollars. It is usually recommended that you conduct your own research of the prices beforehand.
Always Make Checks Payable To The Firm
Certified Canadian immigration firms would never request that you put funds into an individual’s personal bank accounts or transfer funds through a specific private money transfer business.
Always Report Any Type of Immigration Fraud
If you become a victim of someone who tricked you under the name of quick visa approval but then duped you, please report it to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) by calling at 1-888-502-9060.
