Question 1

1. Are you an Agent?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the term “Agent” gives the impression of an unauthorized representative, ghost counsel, and/or individuals who do not act in the best interest of the client. Thus, we go to great lengths to help the public understand that being an Immigration consultant is a Regulated/Licensed Immigration professional in Canada. Consultants are bound by laws and regulations in Canada that ensure we act in the best interest of our clients. Consultants underwent an extensive training program in Immigration law and undertook a professional exam that tests our competence and grasp of Canadian immigration, as well as the applicability of these laws, policies and procedure to clients. Just like Lawyers or paralegals, we are required to finetune our skills and knowledge through continuing professional education.

Accepted Answer

We work on all types of immigration application with exception to refugee application. Our specialty however includes Spousal sponsorship, LMIA/LMIA exempt applications and Super visa.

There is no application too little or too big for us to tackle should we decide to work on your application.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 7

7. Why do I have to pay for a consultation?

Accepted Answer

Paying for consultation is like paying to park at the parking meter or paying to see a medical doctor or a therapist. Think of Immigration consultations as your Immigration therapy sessions. Several immigration practitioners have extensive education, experience, certifications, and specialized Immigration certification that allows these practitioners to charge a fee for their services. We recommend that every individual schedule a one-on-one conversation to ensure we are able to discuss immigration programs you may qualify for, provide action items to work on prior to an application, discuss funds, program eligibility, and other important items that will help improve your chances of an approval. Consultation fees are deducted from professional fees (terms and conditions apply).

  application to be submitted
 • You would like the added confidence of having an immigration professional review your application before you submit it to IRCC

Fully Representation is good for you if 
 • You don't have the time to research the intricacies of your case to make sure that you qualify for the requirement of your visa application
 • You need assistance in determining if any past legal issues will have an impact on your application for example; Convicted of DUI, Committed an assault for which you have not been convicted of etc. 
 • You need assistance in determining if any past immigration issues will have an impact on your application for example, undocumented/out of status in a foreign country, previous refusal from other countries including Canada, previous ban or deportation from a foreign country including Canada. 
 • You aren't confident that you can prepare your application on your own

PS: We do not offer services where clients expect MainStreet Immigration Services to provide documents such as bank statements, employment etc for their immigration application. This will be in violation of the code of professional conduct.

Question 11

11. Do I really need an immigration consultant?

Accepted Answer

Not everyone would need an immigration consultant. Just as you may not need a recruiter when applying for a job. However, applying for a visa can become complicated and even time consuming. A consultant can provide valuable assistance, and help uncomplicate complex immigration requirements. They can help draw a clear roadmap of your journey to Canada, as well as highlight potential obstacles and reduce your chances of making mistakes. Several Immigration consultants just like our Principal consultant have gone through the immigration process and can thus empathize with clients.

Question 12

We have a 98% customer satisfaction rate. This is because we focus on submitting a high-quality, complete and cohesive application that uniquely addresses each client's needs.
