I haven't noticed a lot of difference, to be honest. I've handled government-assisted cases. I've handled privately sponsored cases. I don't think it makes a particular amount of difference. There is a bit less paperwork on the government-assisted side, because you don't have a sponsor who has to go through the headache of dealing.... Well, the other witness can tell you what a headache it is to deal with the office in Ottawa that processes them. Once you get past that point, I think they're treated pretty equivalently.
