Spousal sponsorship - lawyer fees
- Thread starter Tina5536

you dont need one if your case is straight forward and neither of you have had issues with CIC before
I thought of the same but still was wondering how much would it cost if I hire a lawyer atleast to review my file once...
If you have a simple, straightforward application, with proof of genuine relationship, first marriage, similar age and background - the cost should be $0 as you don't need a lawyer. If you choose to engage one for no reason, they'll charge whatever you're prepared to pay them.

At least $3000-$5000 for a lawyer just to review your file.

Orange LLP offer free consultations. I didn't end up hiring them, but I spent about an hour on the phone with them when I was lawyer-shopping and the woman I spoke to was very clear about what we needed to do.
