The costs varies, you should contact a local immigration lawyer for this purpose & they will tell you. You can do it urself as well but the procedure is complicated & u are prone to make mistakes. Most of the lawyers (or firms e.g. Pricewaterhousecoopers aka PWC) have fixed price for the work done. PWC is well known in corporate immigration matters, cost a bit on top than others, but they prepare the case solid & well documented (I am not advertising for them, u can choose one of ur own choice, I am just giving example). Good luck.

if your relative gets a job with a canadian company (very doubtful) the only cost they pay is the airfares. the company pays for the work permit. if you wish to apply for it without a job, then it costs CAD$150 (if you are approved). A lawyer is not necessary.

If you are getting a Lawyer or Immigrant consultant, that is an additional cost. You can do it on your own. It varies from place to place. Call CIC or check their website to be accurate how much it is. www.cic.gc.ca You do not need a representative, if you can do it yourself.
