This forum is provided by an attorney in Montreal, but they have a liaison office in Toronto.

Just click on the CANADAVISA.COM banner in the upper left of the screen to find their contact information. They do offer a free phone consultation.

Good luck!

What are the advantages of having an Immigration Lawyer in processing a Spouse Sponsorship?

Not much of an advantage unless you have a non standard or complicated application.

The application process itself is easy enough to follow and complete on ones own.
 
I have used Bomza law group for my PR application under CEC category.

Complicated cases definitely could benefit from a lawyer's help and opinion. If your case is straight forward you can definitely apply on your own.

We had applied on our own for my wife's PR

I am planning to petition my partner who has still a valid marriage with her ex husband (from the philippines)
she has now filed a divorce in the US and we're planning to get married afterwards.
Do we have a complicated case? since she is still married in the philippines.
Do we still need an immigration lawyer for her application?

i would consult a lawyer in your case. You dont necessarily have to get one full time. It sounds like you might have to petition using common law as you can not get married until divorce is settled. CIC will let you file even if you are married if you can prove your separation, and on going divorce. You will also beed to have lived together for atleast 12 months and show proof of that too.

So yes i personally would advice you to consult a lawyer. Common law combined with divorce is not straight forward.

Thank you for your response chipolopolo .
I am planning to file the petition after the divorce is settled and we are already married.
There will be no problem at all, right?

if its after the divorce, then i see no problem. It should be fairly straight forward, and no lawyer would be required though that decision is solely upto you. You can put the application together by yourself then just have a lawyer review it. That costs significantly lower. Otherwise just gather all your proofs of relationship, and required documents, and you should be alright. The forum has some threads on how to organize your application. That can an give you a guide. good luck
