Show Notes:
Unfortunately, there are many immigration scams that take advantage of people who want to move to Canada or the United States. There are ads, websites and telephone that have false advertisements about moving to Canada or promises to find you a job in Canada or the U.S. No one can guarantee that you can move to Canada or find you a job. Only the Canadian government can approve your immigration application. Hiring a fake immigration representative or paying money to a fake website will cost you time and money - could result in a future immigration application being penalized or denied.
Are you confused by conflicting information and worried about immigration scams and fake news? Canada is a wonderful country with many opportunities. Unfortunately, many people who want to move to Canada are deceived by immigration scams and fraud. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has reported increases in immigration fraud including fake websites, employment scams, ghost immigration consultants, and false fees and promises.
At Ackah Law, our practice receives calls every day from foreign workers who have many misconceptions about moving to Canada such as:
- A criminal record isn't a problem if you want to move to Canada
- Canada accepts all refugees
- You don't need any special degrees to advise on immigration law
- If you buy a Canadian company you can move to Canada
- Some immigration lawyers have special relationships with the Canada government and they can expedite your application
Immigration laws and policies can be confusing, and they change frequently. There are many dishonest unreputable people who take advantage of people who desperately want to move to Canada for a better life. It can be confusing for a foreigner to know who is telling the truth, and to find someone who will provide accurate legal advice to help them move to Canada or the U.S.
How to Hire an Immigration Lawyer
New data shows that applications by immigration lawyers are nearly 50% more successful. The chances of a successful immigration application to Canada are much higher - nearly double - if you hire an immigration lawyer to help get your study, work or visitor visas, according to immigration data obtained under an access to information request by The Toronto Star.
