Do I need an immigration lawyer to apply for Canadian immigration?

However, a licensed immigration lawyer significantly improves your chances in complex cases, refusals, appeals, or situations where your status is at risk. For straightforward applications with no complications, many applicants proceed without a lawyer.

What is the difference between an immigration lawyer and a consultant?
