How to prevent being cheated by immigration agents

The vast majority of people, for all kinds of procedures, for other countries' immigration laws and regulations, often have no clue or a little knowledge, so they will choose to ask for help. Let's take a look at how to prevent being cheated by immigration agents.

First, "tangible"

Some people will say that the intermediary operating in China is "tangible". Many times, this kind of intermediary will hold the qualification certificate of self-funded study abroad intermediary service, the business license of private entry and exit intermediary issued by the Ministry of Public Security, and the business license of the company, so that customers will quickly form the impression of "qualified" and "trustworthy".

In fact, all the above "qualifications" are useless to those who want to travel, study, work, immigrate and apply for Canadian refugee protection, because they have nothing to do with Canadian immigration and refugee protection laws.

In addition, with the development of "decentralization" in China, some administrative examination and approval are gradually cancelled, and relevant thresholds are no longer set, and many "qualifications" that were once used to "show off" have lost their meaning.

Second, the packaged "immigration lawyer"

The most popular "cheating" in the Chinese community is cheating everywhere under the guise of glamorous identity. In recent years, in China, people who have no foreign lawyer qualification, only China lawyer qualification, or even China lawyer qualification are all under the banner of "China immigration lawyers", and there are more and more people.

However, in a country without immigration laws, he calls himself an "immigration lawyer". I am afraid that such a "packaging" trick should have been seen through long ago.

Third, what is the truth worthy of attention?

According to Article 9 1 of the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, no one is allowed to provide paid immigration consulting services to others, nor to prepare and submit any application for immigration, refugee and citizenship law on behalf of others, except Canadian registered lawyers, CRIC Crick and Quebec notaries.

Therefore, all legal services related to Canadian immigration law and refugee law, as long as they involve paid services, can only be handled by the above three types of professional lawyers except myself. It is a violation of Canadian immigration law to provide relevant consulting and application services without qualification.

It should also be pointed out that the agent must fill in the relevant agency form and provide the information to the Canadian Immigration Bureau.

Fourth, pure black intermediary, how to "black" you?

In China, many travel agencies and intermediaries falsely claim that they can apply for "Canadian tourist visas" for their customers. But in fact, they don't have legally registered Canadian lawyers, licensed Canadian immigration consultants and Quebec notaries. What they do is to impersonate and steal the client's name to apply for a visa.

In Canada, there are also many intermediaries with various names. Some use "training institutions" as a cover, while others use "educational service centers" and other non-profit organizations as bait. They also impersonate and steal customers' names to run applications related to Canadian immigration and refugee law.

For the Immigration Bureau, it is absolutely the "dogma" of untouchables to forge materials and conceal information. Once this kind of application is discovered by the Immigration Bureau, no matter whether the applicant's materials are true or false and whether they meet the relevant conditions, they will be rejected. If false statements are involved, customers will be blacklisted, prohibited from entering the country and not allowed to apply for five years. Not only that, once the Canadian Immigration Department has seized an undocumented immigration company, it will try its best to find out all the cases handled by the company and has the right to overturn and withdraw the cases involved.

5. How did the bleaching agent "black" you?

A domestic institution does not have Canadian registered lawyers, Canadian licensed immigration consultants (RCIC/CRIC) and Quebec notaries, but wants to carry out such business, so it forms cooperation with some Canadian lawyers.

There is no small risk in this mode of cooperation. Because a considerable number of lawyers are not personally responsible for the case, but simply become "signatories." China's agent completed all the contents in China and handed them over to Canadian lawyers for signature, thus "bleaching" the intermediary and completing the client's case.
