Hourly rates typically range from $250-500/hour, while flat-fee arrangements for specific applications — such as Express Entry, work permits, or study permits — typically range from $2,000-8,000+ CAD.

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

You are not legally required to use a lawyer. 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?

Both immigration lawyers and authorized immigration consultants (RCICs) are licensed to represent clients before IRCC. Lawyers are additionally licensed by the provincial law society and can represent clients in Federal Court. For complex cases, appeals, or judicial reviews, a lawyer is generally recommended.
