Why Use Kubes Law Firm to immigrate to Canada
 Hiring us to represent you in order to prepare your immigration case, is equally as important as hiring a criminal lawyer to represent you if you were charged with a crime. Although technically it is possible to represent yourself in both situations, successful results are almost impossible in both situations, when one decides to represent himself or herself.
Preparing an immigration case for submission to the Canadian Immigration Officials is very complicated and is very similar to presenting a criminal or any other kind of legal case. Preparation of the immigration forms is just a starting point in the immigration process. Unless you are an experienced lawyer who has represented clients hundreds or thousands of times in this process, you could not possibly be aware of what is required to successfully proceed with the case. This is because although there are some basic general instructions available to the public on the internet, there is no way to know what the actual requirements and expectations of the Immigration Officials are, unless you are an Immigration Lawyer and have a great deal of experience.
Canadian Immigration Laws and Regulations allow Immigration Officials to make decisions in immigration cases on a discretionary basis, and these laws and regulations are often changing, as is the way in which these Laws and Regulations are interpreted and applied by Immigration Officials. Only we, being very experienced lawyers, are able to prepare strong written legal arguments and submissions, and send them to the Immigration Officials on your behalf, in order to convince them, based on the most current laws, policies and regulations, that your case is one which should be decided upon positively. It is necessary to know, and present to the Immigration Officials, the legal basis for your case, to present the important issues in your matter, to advance your case in the best possible light, to focus the Immigration Officials on the positives of your case and to forcefully argue and convince the Immigration Officials in order to receive a positive decision. For instance, even if you have more than the required number of “points”, your application can be rejected by the Immigration Officials, if your case is not presented properly, with sufficient proof and in a manner which will convince Immigration Officials that your case is meritorious.
There is also no way for an unrepresented person to know, what proof is required in order to prove the essential elements of his or her case to the satisfaction of the Immigration Officials. For instance, an applicant's ability to speak English may not be great, but we will be able to argue and convince the Immigration Officials that there are other elements in that case, which make up for that fact and which should be considered in order to allow a positive decision to be made.
Even if a person were aware of what kinds of proof the Immigration Officials expect to see, he or she would not know what amount of proof is sufficient to satisfy the Immigration Officials. For instance, if you were to represent yourself, and you submitted your applications to the Immigration Officials without providing sufficient proof or if the application package was not complete, your application could be rejected by the Immigration Officials without you being given an opportunity to provide additional proof or further documents and to make further submissions. This is because Immigration Officials do not have an obligation to advise you how to submit your case or to advise you what would make your case stronger, because the burden of proof is on you to make your case to them, and if you fail to do so, they are legally entitled to simply reject your case without asking you for any clarification.
Furthermore, Immigration Officials have so many cases to deal with, that they are happy to quickly reject unrepresented applicants who submit incomplete or insufficient application packages, without giving the applicants a second chance. As well, if you do not have us to anticipate what the Immigration Officials will require, or to highlight the merits of your application package, the Immigration Officials may simply look at your application and reject it without noticing the positives of your case, even if, you in fact, have a good case. Therefore, although strictly legally-speaking you could represent yourself in the immigration process, it is false and misleading for you to believe, that you can successfully represent yourself in this process, just as it is false and misleading to think, that anyone could represent themselves successfully in divorce or criminal proceedings.
The decision to immigrate to Canada happens once-in-a-lifetime, and is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make. It would therefore be imprudent and unwise, for you to experiment on yourself, and try to represent yourself in this process, which you have never been through before, instead of hiring our Law Firm, as we have done it thousands of times before. The legal fees incurred by you in order to pay for our services are insignificant, especially when compared to the benefits both monetary and otherwise, and the opportunities, that you and your family will receive if your application process is concluded positively by the Immigration Officials.
In the past, some clients have tried to represent themselves in this process, and were rejected very quickly for various reasons, including for not providing sufficient proof and documents to prove the essential elements of their case. Some of these clients later wanted to try the process a second time, and this time they hired us to represent them. However, it proved to be very difficult, because once you are rejected by the Immigration Officials the first time, it is hard to overcome the deficiencies of the first application process, since the Immigration Officials keep the entire file from your first attempt and refer to it during the second process.
We look forward to representing you, and can certainly guarantee, that we will prepare and present your case in a very persuasive way and in a manner that will make it likely, that it will be accepted by the Immigration Officials.
Process in General
The process of immigrating to Canada requires a full understanding of the Canadian Government's laws, regulations and procedures which are constantly being changed. Since we have represented thousands of successful clients in immigration procedures to Canada, we will use all of our experience to ensure the success of your application process.
Your success in this process will also be enhanced by many other factors, including the proper preparation of your applications, and strong submissions and arguments made by us to the Canadian Consulate, in order to persuade the Canadian Government that you are a qualified candidate, and that you will be able to successfully establish yourself in Canada. An important part of the application process will be to send to the Canadian Consulate documents, proofs, and information, which will support your case, and a list of which we will provide to you once we are working on your case and have fully determined which documents will be necessary to best prove your case.
The decision whether to accept your applications will be made by the Canadian Consulate, based also on our arguments with respect to the many important issues which the Consulate is focusing on at the present time. George J. Kubes is a Canadian Lawyer with more than 25 years of experience, not just a paralegal consultant, so you can be assured of the quality of our services. As well, there is no risk whatsoever with the money you pay for our services, because the fee that you will pay us, will be placed in the Lawyer's Trust Account, and according to Canadian Law, it will remain in that account, until we have finished our work on your case.
There are several steps in this immigration process. Depending on which Canadian Consulate the process documents are sent to, it can take from only several months, to between one and two years or longer to receive the decision in your case. Every case is different, and your case will have our personal attention. We will use all of our many years' of experience to decide on the best strategy and the best steps to take in your case.
Attention to Every Detail
One of the most important reasons to use our services, is that since many qualified applicants may not, on paper, achieve the required number of points to immigrate to Canada, we are very experienced in preparing very strong submissions to the Canadian Consulate on behalf of such applicants, so as to ensure that the Canadian Consulate is convinced, that the candidate would become successfully established in Canada, and a successful Canadian Citizen, despite not having the sufficient number of points. The Canadian Consulate will then grant such an applicant a Canadian visa, even if his or her point total falls below the required number.
On the other hand, even if an applicant does have the required number of points, he or she will not be accepted for immigration into Canada, if the Canadian Consulate feels that he or she will not become successfully established in Canada. It is therefore important for the Canadian Consulate to receive a strong recommendation from our very reputable Law Firm, which has dealt with the Canadian Consulate for many years. It is crucial to have us indicate and explain to the Canadian Consulate, why the applicant is a suitable candidate, who will successfully integrate into Canadian society, and become successfully established in Canada. We will also ensure that your entire application will be prepared in a manner that the Canadian Consulate will be likely to accept.
The final step in the process in some cases, is a personal interview which some applicants are invited to attend at the Canadian Consulate. However, it is now the policy of the Canadian Consulate, not to invite applicants to attend a personal interview, if the applications, documentation and information forwarded to them by mail, are sufficient to convince the Canadian Consulate, that the applicants are qualified, and will become successful Canadian Citizens. That is another reason that it is so crucial for us to forward very strong submissions on behalf of each applicant, so that this personal interview can be avoided. The Kubes Law Firm is very highly skilled and experienced in submitting very strong submissions, so that there is no necessity to attend this personal interview at the Canadian Consulate. The reason that it is important to try and avoid the personal interview, is because one never knows exactly what could happen at any particular interview, and in addition, if an applicant must attend the interview, this increases the financial costs to the applicant, and significantly delays the process. If in a particular case, however, an applicant must attend a personal interview at the Canadian Consulate, we will of course prepare each applicant fully for this interview, and advise each applicant what to expect.
It is important to submit an application package to the Canadian Consulate correctly the first time, along with all of the supporting documentation and information, so that the application process will not be delayed. If all of the applications, documents and information is not sent completely and correctly the first time, the Canadian Consulate will return the whole application package to the applicant, and the application will not be processed. The Kubes Law Firm will prepare the applications correctly the first time, and submit them with all of the supporting documentation and information along with very strong submissions, to the Canadian Consulate.
The Kubes Law Firm will not only determine the best strategy for an applicant's case, but will also prepare the official applications and forms and advise which documentation and information will expedite the case. We will deal directly with the Canadian Consulate on your behalf, and guide you through this very confusing process from beginning to end. It is very difficult for an applicant to communicate with the Canadian Consulate, and their bureaucracy, as they do not receive phone calls, and very seldom respond to faxes. Starting from the beginning of the process, Kubes Law Firm will be in contact with the Canadian Consulate on your behalf, and resolve any problems which might arise.
We will also direct each applicant to other services that will make the transition to Canada easier, such as agencies that assist with finding an apartment, lodging, housing, employment, banking and social groups, including organizations in Canada from the applicant's own ethnic background which assist newcomers to Canada.
For those persons who do not wish to immigrate to Canada, but only want to work, visit, or be students in Canada, Kubes Law Firm will assist with obtaining the required visas, including work permits and study permits, including visitor visas. For those persons who are already residing in Canada, but have no Legal Status, we will represent applicants in various immigration processes, including Family Sponsorship, where family members wish to sponsor others from overseas, in an Immigration Inquiry, Humanitarian and Compassionate applications, Federal Court Judicial Review and Appeal, Refugee Claim process where persons fear returning to their own country and wish to seek protection of Canada and obtain Refugee Status in Canada, and in a Hearing known as a Detention Review.
Immigrating to Canada
For many years, Canada has been chosen by the United Nations as one of the best countries to live in. The political situation is stable, economy is on the rise, and the country is beautiful. Applicants can immigrate to Canada from any country in the world, and even applicants who do not have proper status and are residing in a country which is not the country of their citizenship, such as persons from Europe, living in the United States without proper documentation, can qualify, in any of the below-mentioned three general categories. The system is very complex and it is vital that each applicant is placed in the proper category, so that his or her chances will be maximized. Through many years of experience, The Kubes Law Firm will ensure that each applicant is processed in the best and fastest manner possible.
- The first category of independent immigration into Canada is known as "skilled worker", in which applicants are evaluated based on a complicated point system, which is based on many factors, such as education, work experience, language ability, adaptability and age. It is important to obtain as many points as possible. To maximize a person's point total, is however only the first step in this process. Since the required number of points is high, many qualified applicants may not achieve it. Fortunately, Canadian Immigration law states, that an applicant can be accepted into Canada even if his or her point total falls below the required number, if the Canadian Consulate is convinced that the person would likely become successfully established in Canada, despite not having the required number of points. We are highly skilled in preparing appropriate submissions to the Canadian Consulate on behalf of such applicants, who do not have the sufficient number of points, so as to convince the Canadian Consulate, that the candidate would be a successful Canadian Citizen, despite not having the sufficient number of points.
- If an applicant is a business person, another method of Immigrating to Canada is based on his or her intention and ability to establish and operate a successful business in Canada. In addition, within the "business category" there is a category of applicants who can qualify if they have the ability to become economically established in Canada by creating their own employment and contributing significantly to Canada's cultural life, or if they have the ability to compete in athletics at the world-class level or if they contribute to Canada's economy through the purchase and management of a farm in Canada. The applicants in these business categories do not have to satisfy the usual number of points, but they must satisfy various other criteria. Kubes Law Firm will assist applicants in the preparation of a business plan in order to increase the chances that the Canadian Consulate will be convinced that the applicant has the appropriate business experience, and the monetary resources to contribute to the economy of Canada.
- The most popular manner of immigrating to Canada for persons who have larger sums of money, is via the "investor category". These applicants do not have to establish any business in Canada, and they do not have to satisfy the usual number of points. They must however satisfy various other criteria, and also invest directly with the Canadian Government a certain sum of money. The Government of Canada guarantees the return of these funds after five years. The funds do not earn the applicant any interest, but essentially buy the applicant and his or her family Permanent Resident Status (known as Green Card in the United States) followed by Canadian Citizenship. The Government of Canada encourages these kinds of applicants, because they stimulate the Canadian economy. The applicants must also have a legally obtained net worth of Canadian $800,000 which can be comprised of cash and/or other property such as real estate, and this property can be located anywhere in the world.
The successful applicants in all of the above three categories will receive Permanent Resident Status in Canada, allowing them to work legally or carry on a business in Canada, followed by Canadian Citizenship.
