Hello,

I am just starting the ball rolling into trying to get into Canada. From searching the web I see there are several emmigration agencies in operation.

I realise that its an expensive luxury using them but would pay for the priveledge, peace of mind and less hassle to use one.

What I'm wondering is does anyone know the most reliable? As I'm thinking it'll cost me a few £K and want to know I'm investing in a reliable company.

Many thanks, all help/suggestions appreciated

Hi there, and welcome to the forum.

Not sure what you mean by 'emigration agencies', but if you do decide to use somebody to help you with your visa application, make sure they are either an immigration lawyer or a licensed CSIC consultant. Many people on here do it on their own, so you certainly don't have to use somebody to assist you, but if you do a search of the forum, you'll find recent recommendations.

Good luck.

Ok. My mistake; IMMIGRATION agencies. I'm basically concerned I'll miss something out at some point down the line and only realise when (the lack of) it presents itself as a problem.

This being due to (from my limited research) the fact that there seems to be many many processes involved in the whole business of moving U.K-Canada.

Unless you have a very complicated case, do it yourself. In any case a lawyer or agency is only as good as you supply them with your info and all the background paperwork you have to do anyway.
As around here for advice...if you get very conflicting answers, you might want to verify it with a lawyer..but otherwise it is pretty straightforward english on the official websites.
You need to make your mind up which route you will follow (federal skilled worker or Provincial Nominee Program are the most common) and do a bunch of reading . If that is what you want to avoid, well.. then you put a lot of trust in agencies which I can't name one that deserves that.

Maybe start by telling us what kind of job, where you would like to go, have you been to Canada and you might get already the one or the other hint, which way might work for you.

lol on a side note..seems lot of politicians were/are lawyers and you trust them?

It's not whether it's immigration or emigration - my point was don't use an 'agency' as often they're not licensed and are very dodgy. Just make sure you use a lawyer or CSIC consultant if you do decide you need help with your application.

A quick search on here for anybody you can considering using will usually throw up some previous threads and reviews of them.

I agree, you don't need them, unless your case is very complicated. Coming to Canada will cost enough as it is, don't waste your money on something you don't need!

Like most of this thread I agree with this sentiment. We have recently got PR status through the FSW route. We completed all the forms etc ourselves and had no problems at all. I don't know what value an immigration consultant would have added!
