Hi,

As the post in this group says, "from april 2004 only registered
consultants can work with
cic", does it mean that individuals applicant cannot apply for PR
themselves, and they can
only hire "registered consultants" to handle their cases? In this
case, even if they
can present a very good application package themselves, they have to
pay the consultants
to do that? Besides, what does the term "work with" here mean?

Your kind illumination on this question will be greatly appreciated.

No, it doesn't mean that at all. It is about who will be able to represent
applicant before CIC if applicant decides to hire professional to do the
work. But it doesn't mean that applicants must hire anyone - you can still
submit application on your own.

Basically it is to tighten the screws on Canadian based Immigration
Lawyers.They are the biggest defaulters.
One Mr Win Thomson Toronto based is the latest hero to join them.This
very common in this part of the world.

Andrew, how will this work?

If you retain a consultant, do they have to be registered in Canada regardless of where you are submitting to, or does this only apply to that part of the process done within CIC offices in Canada?

For example, if you are applying through the CHC in London UK, and choose to get profesional help with filing, are you now required to retain a canadian registered consultant or will a UK based one be acceptable.

Just curious how this is supposed to work.

Thanks, and let me add my thanks to all the others for your seemingly tireless work in this group, bringing light to the gloom

It doesn't matter where application is to be submitted - if you want to hire
consultant for case to be filed at ant time from April forward such
consultant will have to be registered member of CSIC. And only Canadian
citizens and permanent residents can be members of CSIC.

So, if you find in UK a consultant who is a Canadian citizen or PR and who
is a registered member of CSIC then such will be able to represent you. But
be very skeptical and stay away from anyone who will be telling you that he
or she is a partner/agent or whoever of a registered with CSIC consultant.
If the person who you want to hire is not himself or herself a member of
CSIC or Provincial or Territorial Law Society in Canada then don't hire such
person. All CSIC registered consultants will have as of April the obligation
to include their CSIC ID number as well as address, phone, fax, email and
web address of CSIC where you'll be able to verify if consultant is
registered.

CIC, regardless where - in Canada or in visa posts abroad - will not deal
with not registered with CSIC consultants or with lawyers who are not
members in good standing of proper law society in Canada, period.
