Becareful who you hire! Just becareful!
Cook from Nepal (CS) was working in central Ontario on a employer specific TWP (LMIA) hired a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) because his sister used to work with the Consultants brother. I googled RCIC Dan E***** and found nothing positive and nothing negative, not even one google review of his company. I have learned from experience just because one brother is competent does not mean the other brother will handel your immigration case properly. CS should of asked for references but decided to hire RCIC Dan E***** based only on his sisters advice.
CS hired RCIC Dan E***** to assist with extending his employer specific TWP and finding him an option to apply for permanent residency. CS employer had hired a different consultant to seek out another LMIA so that he could continue employing CS. I asked CS why he did not hire the same consultant his boss trusted to deal with any extensions to his TWP and he had no answer.
Both CS and RCIC Dan E***** knew that CS temporary work permit was about to expire. RCIC Dan E***** was waiting for the employers consultant to contact him informing him that the LMIA had been approved.
With only a week of valid status remaining on CS work permit RCIC Dan E***** submitted a TWP application to Edmonton CPC with no LMIA attached. Edmonton CPC staff would of refused the application if they opened it with no LMIA attached but RCIC Dan E***** did it anyways thinking it was perfectly okay to submit an incomplete application. RCIC thought he would send the approved LMIA via webform as soon as it was approved. RCIC Dan E***** did nothing to extend CS current temporary status in Canada. CS TWP status expired and RCIC Dan E***** never submitted a restoration of status for CS to maintain his status in Canada while wasiting for the LMIA approval. A few weeks passed and RCIC Dan E***** forwarded the LMIA via webform to Edmonton CPC even though he knew that IRCC was way behind in responding to webform submissions.
CS decides to take a trip to Vancouver to see a friend from Nepal. CS went with four other valid study permit holders. Someone got the bright idea to travel south 25.8 kilometers to the Peace Arch Provincial Park (photo above) and they all crossed into the USA!
US Bordder Control sent them all back to CBSA Officers. Not one of them had a valid TRV tempoorary resident visa in their passports. The four foreign students were all admitted legally back into Canada due to IRPR regulation 190 (3) (f) temporary resident visa exemptions. https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/page-24.html#h-688565 CS was issued an removal order because RCIC Dan E***** had done nothing to maintain CS status in Canada. CBSA Officer informed CS that if there had been a restoration application submitted CBSA would not have ordered him removed.
RCIC Dan E***** blamed the employers consultant for not informing him sooner when the LMIA had been approved. He argued with CBSA saying all documents had been submitted to extend CS status in Canada and even though no decision or action on his application had been taken it was not fair.
When CS returns to Ontario CBSA booked him on a flight to Nepal unescorted. The airline REFUSED to take CS on the flight. RCIC Dan E***** contacted Lawyers asking how much they would charge to deal with CS case then turned to me to assist CS. I was retained to research this case and attend at the CBSA Bond Reporting Centre at 5900 Airport Rd. Entrance 93 in Mississauaga with CS. When I attended the Bond Reporting Centre with CS I found out he was being called in and offered a PRRA Pre Removal Risk Assessment. I did not ask the clerk why CS was being put on a flight without being offered a PRRA two weeks previously.
I sat on the bench and explained all of CS options to him and his sister for over two hours. Since then CS would write an email to me saying what about this or that because RCIC Dan E***** said........ Nothing RCIC Dan E***** said made any sense.
CS and his sister had submitted a TR to PR application. That public policy requires applicants to be in status when they apply and IN STATUS whn the approval happens. I suggest that he submit a PRRA that could take a year to render a decision and I get him an open work permit.
CS talks to RCIC Dan E***** and then requests that I drop my reasonable fee by 50%
WHAT IS A RESONABLE FEE TO APPLY FOR AN OPEN WORK PERMIT,ATTEND TWICE AT MISSISAUAGA 6900 AND SUBMIT SUBMISSIONS FOR (CS) PRRA APPLICATION?
