Why Retain Christopher J. Roper, one of the leading Canadian immigration lawyers.

You may be aware that there are a large number of unqualified groups and individuals who purport to be experts in this particular field. Unfortunately, too many fo these groups and individuals are interested only in their own profit, and little regard for the interest of the individual they are representing. Our motivation is to ensure that individuals receive hte highest quality of legal advice with a view to establishing a long-term relation with the individual and his or her family on thier move to Canada. As lawyers, we are government by the laws which govern the conduct of lawyers here in Canada. Failure to meet these high standards can result in discipilinary proceedings against us. Furthermore, our legal opinion as to your qualifications for immigration to Canada is "backed-up" by a $4,000,000,000 insurance policy. Therefore, should our legal opinion be incorrent, i.e. should we provide you negligent advice, you will have the recourse against our insurers for recovery of the damages resulting from our negligent advice. Therefore you would be eligible to recoup any payments made to us, the amount of any governmental processing fees, together with any other damages resulting from your relying upon our legal opinion. In summary, we are lawyers who are committed, and obligated, to act in the best interest of our clients seeking to immigrate to Canada.

It is very important that your application must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Immigration and Refugee Protection Act ("IRPA") and the IRPA Regulations. We will ensure that your application meet the legal standards defined by immigration legislations. As part of the services that we provide, we prepare the application and review all supporting material and documents and confirm that they are satisfactory or recommend any amendments, changes, etc, so as to enhance the chances of success of your Application.

Furthermore, as your lawyers representing your interest in your dealings with Citizenship and Immigration Canada ("CIC") officials responsible for assessing your Application, we will advance legal arguments in our legal submission letter filed in support of the Application that you and your family are admissible to Canada. As such, our legal submission letter will set out the legal arguments for your admission to Canada as if given in a court of law and will therefore be accorded the appropriate weight and consideration by the immigration authorities when assessing your Application. We consider it advisable to submit a detailed legal submission letter so as to ensure that your qualifications for immigration to Canada are "on record" and to avoid the possible arbitrary, unjustified refusal of your Application prior to the prelininary assessment stage of the processing of your Application.

The officials at the Canadian High Commissions/emabassies around the world are also mindful of the fact that should there be an unjustified refusal of your Application, the contents of the Application file, including our detailed legal submission letter setting out our legal arguments in support of your admission will be part of the Tribulal Record of any appeal in the Federal Court of Canada. As such, the immigration officials assessing your Application will be particulerly careful in ensuring that your Application is properly assessed given the compelling legal arguments for your admission as set out in our detailed legal submission letter.

Furthermore, given the delayed processing of all Applications for Permanent Residence in Canada at all processing posts worldwide, our legal submissions will set out the legal basis for waiver of the customary reqiurement that you attend for immigration internew, thereby serving to expedite processing of the Application. This will surely be expected to save approximately a year to a year and half of processing time.

As well, and perhaps most importanty, with the submission of the detailed legal submission letter in support of your Application at the time of its submission, your Application will be "locked in" and will therefore be assessed on the basis of the present Canadian immigration law and assessment procedures. Specifically, the Federal Court of Canada has ruled that once an application has filed his or her Application for Permanent Residence in Canada, that application will be assessed on the basis of the law in effect at any point in time during the course of the processing of the Application whis is most beneficial to the applciation. Therefore, should there be any changes in Canadian immigration law and assessment procedures after the submission of your Application you will receive the benefit of any such changes.
