Getting permanent residency after studies

[Upesh07]

Hi everyone,

Read many threads in this forum, felt great that I found a place where I can get help regarding the Canada immigration process.

I'm in Canada completing my studies, will finish by April end this year. I qualified as a Mechanical Engineer from India and have a 4 years work experience in technical and management field. Now in Canada completing my one year certification, later I will be getting Post Grad Work Permit for a year.
I will be writing the General IELTS exam here as soon as possible so that I can start with the Express Entry Procedures. My current CRS is coming around 419 (entered my academics IELTS bands to get an average CRS).
Consulted a lawyer/ registered immigration consultant regarding my profile for express entry, he said that I am eligible and have to go through academic IELTS and he will be doing all the documentation and Express Entry procedures for me. And for this he is asking me an amount of around $3500 CAD (Rs. 1,70,000).

I am not sure how to take it ahead, is it that tough and tangled that I should go with the consultants or I myself can do it. (means getting through all the procedures involved in Express Entry). Also being an International student it's not that easy to earn and save these much amount so that I can give.

Need help and support on this.

Thanking you all in advance.

If he actually told you to do the academic IETLS I would definitely not pay a cent for his advice.

If you're willing to do your research then you'll see that you can do it all by yourself.

Academic IELTS does not work for Express Entry. You have to appear for General IELTS exam.
