HRSDC approval for a working visa inside of Canada-help need

[Demon]

Hello, privetovci!
I'm currently on a work permit in Canada. It expires September 2004, and I need to get it extended. Application submitted by my current employer failed because a lawyer who filled it out before, showed my salary higher than it really is, so HRSDC replied that "there are enough qualified canadians to fill this position".(lakily I wasn't charged for misrepresentation)
I'm getting a raise and a promotion in order to get another work permit, and I'm in desperate need for a good lawyer, who can deal with HRSDC, and with visa office later on. Does anybody have one to advise? Anybody with a very good and pleasant experience?
Also, when doing my research on immigration lawyers I found that some of them charge $1000, but some of them-$4000 for the same service.... Any ideas on why is it so? I really appreciate any information on lawyers.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Demon.

По существу сказать ничего не могу, ни разу не слышал об отказе на продление рабочего разрешения.

Не по теме - Нафига вы вообще адвоката нанимали? Продление вполне делается самостоятельно, и от работодателя обычно нужно лишь официальное письмо с указанием позиции и зарплаты... Зачем кормить этих адковатов?!

Thanks for your reply.
The thing with work permit is that you have to know the exact position you are applying for, exact and competitive (!) salary for this position, plus you have to proove there are no Canadians qualified to fill the position up.
One mistake makes your application to blow up like a bubble, that's what exactly happened with my first application, so I still need a lawyer:)

По моему, вам парят мОзги - эти условия необходимы для первоначального получения employment authorisation. Для продления статуса это не требуется - вот чеклист необходимых документов для продления статуса

Не далее как месяц назад знакомый продлевал - без проблем и автоматически. Как вариант - ваш адвокат облажался и заполнил форму на новый пермит, а не на продление, это может объяснить все проблемы...
