I concur with the opinion that no need for Attorney in handling immigration cases provided you can collect all required documents and follow instructions properly.
Now, my question here is: How to get the official documents notarized i.e. stamping copies after checking with the originals but should be authorized Notary by the Canadian authorities.
I checked with a place by the name of "Asia" in Sofitel but they told me that they translate documents only. Not official Notary for Canadian Immigration process.
mmyke, In that case Canada cannot retain people by offering them right opportunities. Why people go there just to grab the passport and not to live there? If you say they are not the right people, then your immigration system has a problem. Don't let people abuse the system. Put the right system in place.
qatarisun, You help people which is a good thing. However your these lines are disgusting:
"and by the way this is the first thing you guys have to learn about canada. You have to be loyal and law obedient and rules respectful. No fooling around, no playing games, no middle-eastern tricks and focus-pocuses!"
Who "these guys" are? You think only you people are law obedient and loyal to your country? Middle Eastern tricks? What about canadian tricks? Aren't there any?
I can see canadian values from your above lines. A major Middle Eastern trick is to respect others . YOU GUYS have to learn this trick.
I also need info if somebody knows about the situation similar to mine. I applied for immigration to Canada as a skilled worker in 2003. My case was rejected after two years, due to getting three less points, than the standard points(67), I got 64 points. This was in 2005. After that I did not try again. Is there any chance for me to apply again, and get more points. My situation has not changed alot.(By the way I am a translator by profession, and this job is in great demand these days in North America). Please help if you are capable. Thanks in advance.
Existence is a heavy burden, only high spirited ones can bear it.
Makkas if you applied in 2003 and havent heard anything yet you should either contact them to get the status (I have never ever heard of anyone taking 5+ years to be accepted/rejected). You may need to re-apply.
Mayan if your situation didnt change much neither will your points.

I may not live in qatar but since we have applied for immigration to canada as a family i take privilege in answering ur question.
Well, since 2007 the rules have changed a lot. We applied in 2003 and still waiting.
It doesnt matter if u apply on ur own or through some agent. WWICS is a reputable organisation. Pls go throuth internet whether they have a branch in qatar.
If u r a professional and belong the jobs sector which are in high demand in canada, u will get ur immigration may be within two years from now.
U need patience..that's all..LOL...Dr.S.Muthukumar
Immigration representatives are people who offer immigration advice or assistance to visa applicants, usually for a fee.
You do not need to hire an immigration representative. It is up to you. The Government of Canada treats everyone equally, whether they use the services of a representative or not.
If you choose to hire a representative, your application will not be given special attention by the immigration officer. Your representative also cannot guarantee that your application will be approved.
All the forms and information that you need to apply for a visa are available for free on this website. If you follow the instructions in the application guide, you can complete the application forms and submit them on your own.
It depends tipu. Are you married to a Canadian Citizen? If you are married to a Canadian and are accompanying them abroad you are fine. If not I would seriously check your Residence status as you can not fulfil your 2 year obligation and have stayed out of the country for more than 6 months. This needs to be answered by an immigration official.
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"
Thanks Qatarisun/Amoud.. here my second question, what if someone (landed immigrant) stayed in Canada for one month than came back and already has spend more than 3 years outside Canada, can he/she go back or he/she has to apply again for immigration ?
what i mean is when i filled in the forms myself i realized, why did i ever hire a lawyer? filling up the forms and completing the exhibits is not as hard as i thought.. but then it's done... what to do yanni? just wish for the best :D
of course you have to send the UPDATED forms again! 2 years have passed!! a lot of changes in your life may occur in 2 years! You might get married, and your educated husband will get extra points, which will make your case stronger. Or other way around, you get divorced and your husband is no longer in your application..and his points disappear along with him.. :) ..Or you had a baby, and you want to include her/him into your application...life is going on.. that's why it's normal to ask for the current information which is up to date..
..but for you it's good news. it means you are getting closer.. :)

I am an expert in a lot of issues.. just lazy to express my knowledge, opinions and thoughts.. LOL..
You have to live in Canada 3 years out of 4 to be eligible to apply for the Citizenship. It means if you don’t leave Canada for 3 years at all, then you can apply.. in case you go back and forth, you have to collect 1095 days during 4 years. You won’t be able to apply for the citizenship, until you collect 1095 days during last 4 years..

my lawyer gave me the forms to fill up then send him back the forms and the documents to go with it. later he met me again to review the filled up forms (in adobe format this time) then if entries are correct and no changes made, i signed it then send it back to him again. after a few months, he send me the file number. that's it for 2 years i did not hear from him again. i just have to check the website for the status of my application using my file number. the next time i heard from him, he advised me to download again the same forms from the website and fill it up, sign, follow the list of exhibits to be submitted that are not yet submitted earlier then submit direct to high commission of canada within 90 days from the date the letter was issued. good thing i made a photocopy of my original documents to avoid discrepancies. so basically, in the end you still have to send updated forms direct to the high commission
Honesty on the application is a different matter. Thats down to morals and common sense.
A lawyer or consultant is not all that helpful. If you have questions about the application you can usually find it on the site. If any questions arise the embassy will call you. Also dont believe them when they say their clients never get interviews, these are also random and if you are on the up and up no worries.
A lawyer/consultant will cost you between 2000-3000 $. Totally not worth it, Just make sure you have all the required docs etc together and understand the process from the site before applying.
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock - Will Rogers"
greentea, it's not necessary, but some assistance of the experienced individual might be very helpful! Sometimes everything goes smooth and easy. Sometimes there are hidden problems on the way. Filling up the application is a very first and easiest step of the process. On the other hand, if the information provided in the application form is correct and TRUTHFUL, and based on this information the person is eligible for the immigration process, it shouldn’t be any issue with that.. but sometimes some unpredictable things happen.. here is the example.
5 points are given for the relatives in Canada. Let’s say the applicant has a sister who possesses a Resident status in Canada. While filling in the application, the applicant adds 5 points to his score, and it helps him to get 67 points. But.. once the Immigration Office asks for the documents to prove the claims in the initial application. And then it turns out, that a sister doesn’t live in Canada at all. She lives, let’s say in her home country, Lebanon. And guess what, these 5 points “for sister in Canada” are taken out of the applicant's score. And then the applicant is left with only 62 points, which are not enough for the status of Immigrant. The case is refused and closed.
This is only an example. There are a lot of different things and different issues.
But again, if applicant is honest, and everything is clear and not doubtful, it shouldn’t be any problems..
I met one guy who wants to immigrate.. when I asked him what kind of education does he have, he said: high school. I said: there is no any chance for you. He said: oh, it’s not a problem.. I can get any Diploma, Degree, Certificates you want. I said: I don’t’ WANT you to get anything. I don’t want you to immigrate to Canada with this kind of “moral norms”, at the first place.

you really dont need a lawyer to apply for immigration to canada though its ok to hire one... just look for people who have gone through it to guide you in filling up the forms and of course you have to do your own reading...i found out late so better get all the info in their website:
doesn't matter what you are going through! Canada Immigration officer doesn't care about it. He/She is strictly following the procedure, rules and instructions. and by the way this is the first thing you guys have to learn about canada. You have to be loyal and law obedient and rules respectful. No fooling around, no playing games, no middle-eastern tricks and focus-pocuses!
If you have gained enough points on six factors, you become eligible to APPLY for the Immigration. It doesn’t make you a Permanent Resident automatically though.

Honestly if you can do the applications alone the lawyers arent any faster. You just have to be persistant. Lawyers will tell you that they have a special arrangmenet but it is baloney.

If you get residency you need to live in Canada for 2 years out of 5. If you dont meet the time requirement you have to reapply for residency.

hi, Qatarisun, you seems to be expert in this matter, can I ask how much duration is required for a permanent resident to get the citizenship?
