Dear Mr. Miller,

I applied for Canadian Immigration through a lawer, before April,
2000. I still have not got any result / interview. As now after 31st
of March, the new law implies on me with the benefit of 70 points
instead of 75. To achieve the 70 points I need the points from my
Spouses education (Masters). But my lawer stated in my application
that my wife will not accompany me. So, now my question is, in this
situation will I receive the points (4) for my spouses education. Do I
have to change the status of my spouse stating that she will accompany
me or not. According to my lawer I won't have to, will you please give
your opinion about this.

Moreover, I am not satisfied with my lawer's service and I want to
withdraw the authorization from my lawer and pursue the case myself
from now on. What I will have to do for that? will it hamper my
immigration process? I will be forever greatful for you advice.

Thanking you in advance.

You won't get points for spouse's education if she is not accompanying you
to Canada. Your lawyer is simply wrong.

Did you pay processing fee only for yourself? If yes then don't blame your
lawyer for stating in the application that your wife will not accompany
you - it was your decision. Maybe your lawyer wrongly advised you to do so
back in 2000, but decision was yours.

If you want to get points for wife's education you must change her intention
in the application (you will need to file new forms anyway) and pay
processing fee for her.

As far as firing your lawyer - you can do it at any time, but make sure that
you understand your contract and consequences of such move. Firing lawyer or
changing your representative should not directly affect your case, although
hiring someone who knows the rules better than your lawyer may be
beneficial.

Dear Mr Miller,

Thanks for your quick response. For your information, as application
fall into the new point system, I told my lawyer that I am willing to
submit the processing fee of my spouse. But my lawyer said that I
don't need to as he has submitted all the relvant documents of my
spouse ( though 'not accompanying') with my application, the
immigration officer is bound to give me the points for my Spouse's
education.

Now, about firing my lawyer, will it be enough if I inform my
respective immigration officer about the withdrawal of authorzation
from my lawyer and my new mailing address.(As the lawyer's address is
my current mailing address).

I will be eagerly waiting for your response as you know now I will
have to take very quick actions.

Thanking you again.

Your lawyer either clearly lied to you or has no idea about the immigration
law. Law states plainly that principal applicant may be awarded points for
education of his or her **accompanying spouse** in the adaptability factor.
Please read Section 81(1)(a) of Immigration Regulations here:

http://www.canlii.org/ca/regu/sor2-227/sec83.html

To withdrawal authorization given to your lawyer and change your mailing
address you need to send notice stating your request to visa post processing
your case.

Dear Mr. Miller,

I really appreciate your kind respnse regarding my query. My current
Visa processing post is COLOMBO. I haven't received any letter yet to
submit new application forms. Before i get that I am planning to send
a letter to COLOMBO Visa office about firing my Lawyer. Then I will
submit the new application form with the processing fee of my spouse.
As I didn't get any letter from Colombo about submitting new forms, do
you think that it will be appropiate to send it in advance.(some of my
friends got the letter and got 6 months time to resent the filled up
form with all documents again)

Thank you again for all your help.

Yes, it would be a very good idea to submit new forms and updated supporting
documents (as per new law) as soon as possible, together with request to
change status of your wife to **accompanying spouse** and her processing
fee.
