Q: For the first time i am applying for an immigrant visa to canada and i want to consult the sound opinion of others before i pursue my application
A: I applied for permanent residency to Canada on my own... just by downloading the appropriate forms from the website. The instructions are all pretty clear. Once you send in the application, they will give you an email address where you can send any questions you have. I wouldn't waste money paying for a consultant. I did it and thought it was pretty easy.
