Razones para contratar a un consultor de inmigración
Honorarios del Consultor de Inmigración Canadiense
As we mentioned above, the fees charged by Canadian immigration consultants can vary quite a bit. In most cases, the total cost of using a consultant's services will fall somewhere between $500 and $5,000. However, there are some consultants who charge as much as $10,000 or more depending on the file type.
The majority of consultants will break down their fees into multiple payments, typically spread out over the course of your application process. This makes it easier for you to budget for their services. In some cases, consultants may also offer discounts if you pay their fees in full upfront.
¿Qué factores afectan los honorarios de los consultores?
Hay algunos factores que pueden afectar los honorarios cobrados por los consultores de inmigración, que incluyen:
- -The program you're applying for: Some programs (like the simple work permits or some types of temporary residence applications) are simpler than others and require less work from the consultant. As such, they typically come with lower price tags. More complex programs (like those involving family sponsorship, provincial nominations or applications where Permanent Residence is the end goals) can take months to complete and often require more time and resources from the consultant. These types of cases usually cost more to handle.
- -The complexity of your case: If your case is relatively straightforward (e.g., you have no criminal history and meet all the requirements for your chosen program), you can expect to pay less than someone with a more complex case (e.g., you have a criminal history or need help overcoming a specific obstacle like inadmissibility for health reasons or other complications).
- -The location of the consultant: Immigration consulting firms in larger cities tend to charge more than those based in smaller towns or rural areas. This is because overhead costs (e.g., rent, salaries) are usually higher in big cities.
- -La experiencia del consultor: Por lo general, los consultores recién formados cobrarán menos que los que llevan muchos años en el negocio. Sin embargo, es importante recordar que la experiencia no lo es todo: también debe asegurarse de que cualquier consultor que esté considerando esté calificado y acreditado por la CICC.
¿Cómo encontrar un consultor asequible?
El hecho de que alguien cobre menos no significa necesariamente que sea la mejor persona para el trabajo, pero no está de más preguntar y obtener cotizaciones de algunos consultores diferentes antes de tomar su decisión final. Aquí hay algunos consejos para ayudarlo a encontrar un consultor asequible:
- Getting a personal referral is always a good idea.
- Consulte directorios en línea como Google Business, Yellow Pages y Gañido to find lists of local immigration consulting firms. Once you've compiled a list of potential candidates, reach out to each one and ask for a quote.
- When comparing quotes from different consultants, be sure to ask about payment plans and discounts that may be available. Some firms offer discounts for students or seniors, so it's worth asking about those options as well.
- Finalmente, no olvide consultar el sitio web y las cuentas de redes sociales de cada empresa; aquí es donde generalmente encontrará reseñas de clientes que pueden brindarle información sobre cómo es trabajar con ellos.
