Does the use of an immigration representative make the process easier?
The use of an immigration representative does NOT make the immigration process simpler. This is because you will still need to undertake similar tasks, just like with self-submitted application. You will still have to complete some forms, collect necessary documentation, as well as attend and successfully complete the interview process should it be necessary. Once again, you are the only one who has full knowledge of every detail about your case. With a representative it becomes necessary to check documentation several times in order to avoid mistakes. Working with a representative causes you to lose control over handling your immigration personally and increases the overall time spent on this task.
