How much do immigration companies charge?
Q. We are looking into moving to Canada from the UK. We are going to an Expo in October and are planning a visit at Easter. My hubby is on the skilled workers list and are hoping to get in this way. We were wondering if we should sign up to a specialist company to help us. However I can't find any information on the charges. Does anyone know or have any experience of the immigration process.

A. As with immigration into the UK, if your case is straightforward, you should not need the services of an agency. They just take a fee for processing and making sure that your application is submitted as per the rules. If you are of reasonable intelligence and take some time to research the Canadian immigration legislation, you should be able to do it yourself. If there is anything that is not straightforward, use an experienced immigration lawyer, even if it's just for advice or clarification on how to apply under any unusual circumstances. You can even use their services just to check your application is correct before you file it. You don't have to use them for the whole process.

What happens to the immigration reforms if the government changes in Canada?
Q. They have spent so much time and money on consultations and research about what types of immigrants are needed in Canada and they are soon to come out with conclusions. Will all those efforts just do down the drain if Harper's govt leaves office or if Diane Finley is no more the Immigration Minister?

A. Once a bill has been passed in the senate the new government can not change it without going through the process again in the house and has to pass through the senate.If it`s not passed through the senate they can scrap it.What about the law Harper put in,that made fixed elections in Canada.The prime minister is not aloud to call an election when they feel like it.Harper's breaking his own law.He did not follow the liberal law on campaign funding because he does not follow there laws,and now he refuses to follow his own laws.This guy has to go.I have no trust in a man that say`s one thing and does another and has no respect for the law..The liberals spend millions on a study.What to do with the marijuana problem?The study came out that it… [cont.]
