Cassandra Hyler
5/5
My lawyer at Sutton Law was a complete godsend throughout the entire process of my LTB difficulties. He was able to collaborate with the other teams representation while ensuring my best interests were always top priority. He walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and help me through the problem. He even went to court to represent me that day so I wouldn’t miss work and stayed there until he heard direct from the judges mouth that my name was cleared.

FAQ

They help with eligibility reviews, application drafting, document checking, appeals of refused applications, requests for urgent processing, and complex cases involving gaps in residency or criminal inadmissibility. They also advise on preparing for the citizenship test and interviews.

They examine permanent resident status, physical presence days (1,095 within five years), tax filings, language test evidence, and any criminal or prior immigration issues that could impede eligibility.

  • Permanent resident card
  • Passport/travel record
  • Proof of English/French skills
  • Tax notices of assessment
  • Two government-issued IDs
  • Citizenship application forms (CIT 0002 or online web application)
  • Ask to see successful experience with citizenship claims
  • Look for clear fee quoting
  • Check client testimonials on responsiveness
  • Seek clear communication about timelines and possible obstacles in the process

Most fees cover:

  • Initial eligibility assessment
  • Preparation/review of the application
  • Representation if audited/appealed
  • Coaching for the citizenship test/interview

Most lawyers utilize a flat fee billing model for standard cases, with hourly rates on complex files.

Processing time typically runs 8–14 months. A lawyer can lessen the wait by avoiding errors/omissions and making a case for urgent processing in eligible situations (new job offer, family emergency etc.).

Yes. Many will supply study resources, practice tests and interview tips if there are concerns held by IRCC about language proficiency or residency history.

  • Determine what is causing the delay
  • Communicate directly with IRCC for information
  • File appeals/new evidence for refusals
  • Represent you at citizenship hearings
  • Failure to meet physical presence days
  • Failure to provide complete documentation
  • Failure to pass the language test
  • Failure to overcome criminal inadmissibility

Most law firms have access to accredited translators or multilingual staff who can translate legal terms and explanation of procedures in a consultation as well as for document preparation.

  • A lawyer has solicitor-client privilege
  • Can appeal your case to the court system
  • Provides strategic advice on complex situations and supports appeals

With immigration consultants or a self-directed application, none of these protections apply and case strategy/advice may be missing on nuanced issues.

Yes. The lawyer can assess your status for rehabilitation, provide instruction on what must be disclosed, and prepare a strategy for criminal inadmissibility.

Advise your lawyer as soon as possible so they can notify IRCC, determine if there is any impact on your file, and update your documentation so the application is not delayed.
