1. Should I hire a lawyer to process my application?
It is true that some applicants do attempt to process their applications without the help of a professional. It has been our experience though that many who take this risk submit incomplete information and/or poor supporting documents which can result in delays and refusals.

2. Why should I hire the law offices of Henry Moyal?
With over a decade of experience and hundreds of successful applicants, Attorney Henry Moyal has the international reputation of getting the work done and for taking over cases that other lawyers/consultants could not handle. By hiring a professional experienced immigration lawyer, Attorney Henry Moyal, has up to date information and updates on immigration laws and regulations. Canadian Citizens living in Canada have the advantage of knowing first hand of any changes. Consultants (who are not lawyers and are not certified as attorneys) living abroad do not this information first hand.

3. How long does the process take?

Processing times depend on several factors.

1. the type of category under which you apply
2. the time it takes for you to collect the documents
3. the processing times set by Canada Immigration

At the law offices of Henry Moyal, it is our goal to process the application as fast as possible and at the fastest Canadian Embassy available. Remember, it is in our interest as well to have you succeed as soon as possible.

4. Do I have to immigrate to Canada right away?
No. Once a person is issued an immigrant visa, they must enter Canada up to one year after visa issuance. The length of time permitted will depend on each individual case but cannot exceed one year.

5. Do I have to live in Canada continuously after I immigrate?
No. There is no requirement stipulating that a person must live in Canada their entire life. However, in order to maintain your permanent resident status, each immigrant must be resident in Canada for two years in every five year period. The so called "2 out 5 rule".

6. I’m in Canada now, how can I change my status?
If you are in Canada as a visitor, worker, student or with no status it may be possible to change status to an immigrant. Each person's circumstances are different and therefore it is best to complete the free assessment form for an evaluation and discuss options.

7. Can you find a job for me?
As an attorney, our resources are geared toward obtaining your immigrant visa. As such, we do not find a specific job for you. However, once you become a permanent resident we can provide a list of employment agencies who may help.

8. How much do you charge?
No two cases are the same. As such, our first goal is to determine the type of category that is best suited for you and to evaluate your chances. It is best to complete the free assessment form for an evaluation.

9. What documents do you need?
Once we decide to accept your case we will provide specific instructions on what documents are required to open a file.

10. Do you have a local agent for me to visit?
While we travel around the globe on a regular basis, we have in the past designated a local agent to handle the influx of applications. However, all immigration work and advice is done by our head office in Canada and by our certified and licensed immigration lawyers in Canada. Therefore, it is in your best interest to first contact our head office in Canada to start your application.
