Immigration Consultant

Immigration Law Dept: Mr. Dhaliwal paid $9,600 to an immigration consultant in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland in May, 2008. He filled in the paperwork and then waited – for two years, according to The Globe and Mail. Mr. Dhaliwal says he now realizes that he fell prey to unrealistic promises and his own wishful thinking, willfully believing that the consultant could speed his application through Canada’s immigration system. “Before, I thought they might know more than me about immigration law, and immigration connections,” the 60-year-old said and the radio ad made it seem so easy, virtually a sure thing: Pay a few thousand dollars, wait a few months, and those needed workers could be brought to Canada. He’s given up waiting. The approvals for those workers never materialized, Mr. Dhaliwal said, and the consultant he paid not only refused to give him a promised refund, but said he owed more money. As reported in the news.
