Hi,

I'm thinking of applying permanent residency to Canada for my brother. He is residing in India and i'm in the US.
Here is his background:
he has his bachelors degree and has worked in the merchant navy for 7 years.

Would he be eligible for PR? or any other temporary visas to canada work better?

Can an attorney assist me in this process?

Please advice.

Thank you very much!

You should do a bit of research. He could be eligible if he has had at last one year of experience in a list of 38 jobs created by CIC. I don't know what he did for merchant navy but probably not on the list.
He could look for a job and he could apply for PR based on that.
He could also go study there and then apply.
He could try for PR through Quebec, but one needs French generally for that.
He could try for provincial nomination but most of those need a job.

Please don't expect me to answer if your post title has urgent in it and it is not really urgent. Urgent is 911 or you have a definite deadline tomorrow, not that you would like to send in the application soon

Ok, thanks a lot Rupesh.

He was a Seaman in Merchant Navy.
Will applying thru an attorney work better or by ourselves?

Attorneys are good if you think you will make a mistake in the forms or if you have a special case but for most, they are not necessary. Of course, a good attorney also knows the process well.

I read in the CIC website that authorized representatives can file them.
How can i find out if an attorney is an authorized rep?

They have to be a member of the Canadian Bar, or CSIC
