Immigration Lawyer Toronto

We handle work permits, permanent residence (Express Entry, PNP), family sponsorship, refugee claims, study permits, citizenship and appeal matters - covering both temporary and permanent immigration streams.

Immigration processes for Canada require paperwork, policy research and updated eligibility interpretations - it is easy to make a mistake that could cost you time or a refusal, especially if your application involves special factors, past refusals or legal issues.

We analyze your education, career history, language skills, family situation and future plans to match options with your profile, including a detailed review of the criteria for federal, provincial or special pathways such as Canadian Experience Class.

Fees depend on the complexity of your case and the services required. Following your first consultation you will be given a signed agreement that details legal fees plus government filing fees and extra third-party charges (like translations). There are no surprise fees.

Every detail is included in your contract before representation starts. Fee arrangements are fully explained in plain language, and any additional expenses incurred through your application are communicated at the first opportunity.

You are updated at key steps using your preferred method (email, phone or secure platform). Any policy change affecting your application is flagged for your file along with detailed instructions covering your timeline/actions for any follow-up steps.

Urgent cases are triaged with accelerated document review, requests to government for file priority, and applications for urgent processing when available under law. A backup plan is presented for file continuity if time limits are impacted.

Quality assurance is managed through three-stage review of every file (preliminary check for completeness, secondary check for legal issues, final check for accuracy). Internal checklists are updated regularly for policy changes.

The refusal is reviewed for possible appeal or request for reconsideration. In the event of a delay, a lawyer contacts government representatives to request specific information about your file and additional submissions are made if necessary.

While no outcome guarantee is permitted in Canada, careful file preparation and legal training have contributed to a high rate of acceptance on certain routine applications. Individual results will depend on case details.

Some current and former clients have supplied written references (subject to privacy rules). On request, past clients (with permission/no confidentiality) may agree to be contacted by you if they share similar involvement in your case.
