🇨🇦 Don’t Risk It: How Self-Representation in Canadian Immigration Doubles Your Chances of Refusal

⚠️ The Risk of Going It Alone

The likelihood of refusal is nearly double for applicants who represent themselves compared to those using licensed lawyers. Self‑representation might save money up front, but the mistake of a missed detail or misinterpreted rule can lead to major setbacks.

🕵️ Legal Expertise Matters

Immigration applications are complex legal exercises. A lawyer understands subtle legal requirements, can spot red flags like inconsistencies or missing info, and helps ensure everything meets the government’s standards.

🍃 What Self‑Representers Often Overlook

Many self‑applicants face refusal because of issues like misrepresentation (which can lead to a 5‑year ban) or failure to choose accurate immigration streams based on current rules.

🤝 Choose Support, Not Just Cost‑Saving

Working with a qualified immigration lawyer doesn’t guarantee success—but it significantly improves your odds, reduces stress, and protects your future in Canada. Don’t gamble your opportunity.
