Just 10.4% of temporary resident applications presented by lawyers were rejected in the year 2017, correlated to higher than 18% provided by immigration consultants.
The numbers show applicants are almost better off serving themselves than choosing an immigration consultant, with 19.3% of self-completed appeals failing. Significantly lowering failure rates for immigration lawyers must come as no shock.
To become a designated immigration consultant, practitioners need to finish a one-year certified program and satisfy language requirements. In 2017 Standing Committee on Immigration and Citizenship report recommended the ICCRC be dismissed, and management of consultants taken on by the Canadian federal government.
Too frequently so-called ‘ghost’ consultants who are not adequately suited are permitted to slip through the net. It leads to complicated court cases that usually frighten the legal status of Canada immigrants who ignorantly engaged the services of unauthorized consultants.
Lawyers of Immigration are also usually left to choose up the pieces after applicants have failed in their appeals using a consultant. Without requiring to operate such severe cases, the rate of success for lawyers could be even more significant.
The data reveals that of 342,154 temporary visa appeals in the year 2017, 86% of applicants chose to show themselves. A further 6% decided to utilize consultants, while 5% decided to utilize Immigration lawyers.
