Hi everyone I'm new in this forums but I need some fast info's and some good advice.I sent some e-mails to different companies from Canada and I received an answer from BIGFREIGHT System which they connect me with there immigration agent.Now they sent me a mail where they say something about a consultation overview which costs 150$/half an hour.Now the question is if any one have any idea about this fees,if someone had the same process or not or they just take your money.between name of the agent company is Pitblado Consultation.If any of you know anything about them or have any advice about BIGFREIGHT will appreciate very much as I'm new in this stuff.Thanks

Has Bigfreight obtained an LMO for you? What kind of job is it? Which Province?

J.Pitblado does not appear to be a Registered Immigration Consultant, as such he could not represent you for Immigration purposes, though he could advise you on how to obtain a TWP.

Most 'proper' Immigration Consultants would give you an overview for free. Have they told you what this overview is for?

Has Bigfreight obtained an LMO for you? What kind of job is it? Which Province? Have they suggested any particular visa or route to PR?

I would suggest you read the wiki about TWP's: http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Tempor...Permits-Canada

I would also suggest looking at the trucking forum on BE: http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=118

Telephone / Email Quotes
Every client case is unique and immigration laws change frequently.
The Immigration process is very complex, and your case may require a special
approach
It would not be fair to quote you a fee until your situation has been professionally
evaluated because Pitblado fees are a function of:
· The facts of your case
· The complexity of your case
· The level of skill required to provide you with the required services
· Pitblado experience with similar cases
· The amount of professional time required by your case
· Your need for rush processing
· Your immigration history
· Your ability to pay reasonable fees
Consultation Fees
The Consultation Fee is $150 per ½ hour or portion thereof, payable in advance.
.
If you sign a Client Service Agreement the same day as your consultation, your
consultation will be free.
To Make a Telephone Consultation Appointment
Call <snipped> or Email <snipped>
Pitblado cannot offer consultations without a prior appointment.
Appointment changes not made 24 hours in advance will forfeit the Consultation Fee.''

Here is what they sent to me and no I didn't had any contact with bigfreight except they recommended on this Pitblado for consultation and that's it,that's why I was asking what to do,also thx for replay!

It would appear from another website they are linked to that they have a member of staff who is a barrister in good standing with the Law Society (presumably, but check) and who could therefore represent you legally, so apologies for not checking that before I gave my previous response.

If you put in a google search for Pitblado Law Immigration Group you can get 1) their official 'Immigration' website and 2) you should be able to find reviews online about them.

I don't know what to advise, but $150 for 30 minutes or part thereof (so 32 minutes = $300 presumably) seems a lot of money to see if you qualify.

Try using the tool on the CIC website to see if you qualify before paying mega bucks to an Immigration Consultant: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcome...k/wic-tool.asp

Edited to say, if they are talking about you obtaining PNP nomination on the semi-skilled stream (long haul trucking) you can see more about it here: http://www.welcomebc.ca/Immigrate/im...-Trucking.aspx and http://www.albertacanada.com/immigra....aspx#trucking There is also a very good wiki article on trucking in Canada here: http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Truck_Driving_in_Canada
