Hello all, I've recently got a positive decision from IRB and now I'm a protected person in Canada.
my lawyer is asking me for 3500 Cad for working an applying for PR this amount doesn't include the PR fees.
I can not pay this amount of money and my question, How do I cancel my representative? Who do I need to inform? Can I apply for PR alone? I want the correspondence to be between me & the government, how can I do that, thank you

Talk to your lawyer to cancel and get your file information. Did you sign a contract/agreement for services? If so, you may be responsible to pay to get your file information. You can apply for PR on your own.

You said - I want the correspondence to be between me & the government, how can I do that, thank you. Isn't that your file information that your lawyer would have? If you have all the documents then what more do you need?

@Tony81 Here is the link to remove legal representation on your file.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigration-citizenship-representative/change-cancel.html
Also, there are non - governmental organizations that can help out in completing the PR form. You can check your provincial website for directory.
