PR issued!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[immicec]

I moved here when I was 19 and never intended to stay! I started undergrad, and changed my program a bunch of times, and finally graduated in 2009. Because the economy was tanking and the job market was crap (and that my degree was in social work and social services are usually the first jobs to go) it took me a long long time to get the 1950 hours required to apply for PR. I worked three separate contacts at the same agency over a 15 month period and applied after I had about 2200 hours. I'm working at a different agency now (in fact, landed a permanent job on Tuesday, officially making this the Best Week EVER) but it was a long process to get all of my ducks lined up in a row!

It was very nice of you that you answered that question although you didn't have to because things happen. Way to goooo CEC2011!!!!!!

This varies from lawyer to lawyer and firm to firm. I went with a lawyer for my own peace of mind, as I tend to get strung out on making sure everything is just so and for me, it was beneficial to hire someone so they could do the organizing for me. There are some people on the forums who will tell you that it's a waste of money and you're better off doing it yourself. I think I got really lucky with my lawyer, as he was a friend of a friend (who has also become my friend now) and gave me a big discount (as my case was relatively straight forward). As he is self employed and does this work independantly, he was able to charge me $1500 for the whole thing. If you want, PM me and I can give you his contact information. he is VERY good at what he does and has a good track record - he has won some very difficult cases and is teriffic at advocating on behalf of his clients.

Hello cec2011,

Could you please send me your lawyer details. I would like to apply under CEC class. I would be interested in approaching an immigration lawyer. It would be very helpful if you can send me the details of your lawyer.
