Thinking of coming to Canada?

Navigating through Canada’s immigration laws can be complicated to do on your own, especially since the burden will be on you, the applicant, to prove that you meet all of the necessary criteria for immigration.


Whether you are interested in immigrating to Canada, sponsoring a family member from abroad or coming to work, study or visit temporarily, I can help you put forth your best application.


If you are a Canadian employer, my law firm can assist your company by efficiently obtaining the necessary visa and work permit applications for the foreign employees you would like to hire.


I am a lawyer who specializes in immigration and refugee law matters and I offer services in English, French and Spanish. My office is centrally located in Ottawa, the nation's capital, and I am able to assist with immigration to any part of the country. Free parking is available and the office is also easily accessibly via several bus routes (#1, 7, 4, 6 or 85).


I offer a range of affordable services so that you can obtain the legal help that you need. Legal aid certificates are accepted.


During your first consultation, I will advise you about your eligibility under various immigration programs, the application process and the kind of evidence you should include with your application. (I am also able to provide this consultation over the phone for those who are outside Ottawa). 


If you decide to submit an application, I can prepare it for you so that you can be confident it has been completed properly and that you have submitted your best application. 


I am also happy to provide assistance with any immigration matter (big or small) on an hourly rate. This means my fee will be tied to the amount of time you need my help for. This option can provide a more economical alternative for those who would a like a lawyer to advise them about the process and review their draft application to make sure it has been completed correctly while doing much of the preparation work on their own. Learn more about all the other ways I can help you by reading about my services, or by contacting my office. 


If you are thinking about immigrating, you will naturally wish to begin by learning as much as possible about life in Canada and the different categories for becoming a permanent resident of Canada: Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience, Business Class, Family Sponsorship and Refugee / Protected Person. I sincerely hope you will find the information on this website a helpful start for the important decisions you will need to make.


Are you ready for more specific advice? I welcome you to contact me to set up a consultation. I look forward to working with you.
