Since you are applying for a Spousal, i should not be that difficult to fill the application form

i suggest you to fill it by yourself, with help of information available on internet, read the form 100 times and fill it up

Lawyer's the would not make any difference, they would feed on you

Abraham Kroschak charges around 2400 CAD. Primus charges around 5000 USD. David Cohen charges around 3000 CAD. These fees may get changed any time.

Govt fees - around 1100 CAD would be extra. Overall you are looking at spending 4000 CAD to 8000 CAD, depending on your lawyers. This included courier fees translation fees PCC etc

If your case is complex case, you may want to engage lawyers. Otherwise, you may be able to submit the application.

We didn't have a lawyer. In Mississauga there's a neighborhood centre that offers free help. She looked over the application before we submitted (except for extra sheets) and made sure everything was as they wanted it and she organized it for us. We met with her a few times for questions and clarification as well.

If your case is relatively straight forward I'd recommend something like this instead of wasting money on a lawyer.

The only issue in my case is we did islamic marriage and celebrated our marriage in UK and lived together. But did'nt register it in UK as she wasn't a resident of UK and registered after few months in PakiStan when we came here. I don't know if this is normal or not.

if u did all things in UK then provide proof with ur application with all evidance of all functions

If u register it in Pakistan, then ur marriage date will be when it was registered in Pakistan. So proceed according to this scenerio

Before marriage time u can say u lived together as husband and wife but did not register in UK

any senior can guide better
