When it goes wrong, we step in.
Rejected, confused or scared about your future in Canada? We’re a team of lawyers who focus on complicated immigration and refugee cases. We candidly explain your options, make sure you understand them, and then carry out the plan, so you can go about your life knowing the right team is on it.
We take the hard ones.
Most of our work starts after something has gone wrong: a refusal, an allegation, a removal date or a hearing notice. Cases like these are the core of our practice, not the exception.
- Refusals. Judicial review in the Federal Court.
- Inadmissibility. Misrepresentation, criminality and security allegations.
- Removal. Urgent stays, deferrals and detention.
- Hearings and appeals. Before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
A candid view of your odds.
Before you commit, you hear our real assessment: the good, the bad and the ugly. If we don’t think you can win, we’ll tell you, and we’ll tell you why.
We walk you through what works in your favour, what the decision-maker is likely to focus on, and every realistic option, including the ones we would not recommend. Our fees are shown before you book, so the decision stays yours.
You’ll understand every step.
Immigration law is full of deadlines, forms and legal tests. We explain your options in plain language, answer your questions, and keep you informed until the case is closed.
From the start you have a plan you can follow: what happens next, and roughly when. When you ask a question, you get a straight answer in words you can use, and when something changes in your file, you hear it from us.
We go for the win.
Every file gets everything we have: our knowledge of the law, our experience, and the full resources of the team. We love this work, and it shows in how we prepare.
In practice, that means evidence that is gathered, checked and organized, and an argument built on the law and the facts of your case. We prepare you for your hearing or interview, and urgent files have more than one lawyer working on them.

How quickly do I need to act after a refusal?
To challenge most immigration decisions in the Federal Court, the application for leave must be filed within 15 days if the decision was made in Canada, or 60 days if it was made outside Canada. Contact us as soon as you receive a decision.
Will you tell me if my case is weak?
Yes. Honesty is our first value. You get a candid assessment of your options, the good, the bad and the ugly, before you commit to anything.
What does a consultation cost?
[Consultation fee and format: firm to confirm.] You can see our legal fees in the Immigration Assessment Portal before you book.
Do you take cases other firms have turned down?
Often, yes. Contested, urgent and precedent-setting matters are the core of our practice.
