Overview

Canadian immigration law firm

A participating Canadian immigration lawyer or law firm may review requests made through this website. The legal provider decides whether to offer a consultation and whether any additional work can be accepted.

Start with intake and a conflict check

The initial form collects contact details, the type of matter, a short description and any urgent deadline. The lawyer may need names before advice to check conflicts and capacity.

Do not send an entire case file until the lawyer provides secure instructions.

Use a focused consultation well

A short consultation should address the question most likely to change the next decision. Bring the refusal, government letter or document containing the disputed fact.

The lawyer may give a limited answer or explain why a complete record review is necessary.

If the matter requires more work

Applications, written responses, appeals and court proceedings require a clearly defined scope. The lawyer or firm should explain who will work on the file, what is included and the fee before the client proceeds.

No lawyer or firm can guarantee a government, tribunal or court outcome.

Who provides the legal service

The participating lawyer or law firm—not the information publisher—provides any legal advice and assumes responsibility only for work it expressly accepts.

The provider’s identity and terms are disclosed before legal services begin.
