Hi,

Are you looking to immigrate to Canada as a Permanent Resident (PR) or on a Temporary Worker Permit (TWP)?.

Either way, if you have the time a patience, do it yourself. There's plenty of info on the web.

I've never had any experience with the company you mentioned, as my employer retained an immigration Attorney here in Canada. They paid $10k ($5k Attorney's fees + $5k for gathering supporting documents) for my work permit, and will pay almost $12k ($8k Attorney's fees + $4k for supporting documents) for my PR.
Life is short, so let's get moving!

Hi There.. thanks for your reply. I am looking to apply for Permanent Residency. I wanted to apply thru an agency simply because as per the info on www.cic.gc.ca/english/ , I dont currently qualify. I'll probably need a job offer from an employer. I thought if I go thru an agency, they can keep my application and apply on my behalf when an opportunity arises.

Many thanks for the info you've provided though and any other inputs you may have will be much appreciated.

Hi,

What passport do you hold, and what's your profession/trade?

If it helps, keep these suggestions in mind:

1.- Be very aware there a number of phony "agents". But also, there are Employment Agencies with already approved Labour Market Opinion (LMO) which will get you into Canada quicker.
2.- As it stands, it's becoming easier to come to Canada on a TWP and then apply for PR; however, I admit people want to secure their legal stay here (in the UK is called Indefinite leave to remain) instead of depending on any employer.
3.- If you have the means to come over; knock on doors and introduce yourself, your chances on finding a sponsor will be much higher.
Life is short, so let's get moving!

Hi There jrge,

I currently hold an Indian Passport and live in London. I am a project manager working for a software firm in central London. My ILR is due soon and I want to move to Canada after I become a British citizen. I am indeed aware of phoney agents, that the reason I turned to this forum hoping someone can recommend an employment agency in London. These employment agencies that you are referring to with an LMO, that s interesting. Can you recommend one ? There are lots of qualified immigration advisors on the home office website, but I am looking for a recommendation. Any inputs will be much appreciated. Thanks for your help.
