Immigration law in Ontario: what to know

Immigration applications are decided by the federal government, and you can only be represented for a fee by a lawyer, a licensed immigration consultant or, in Quebec, a notary.

How to choose a immigration lawyer in Ottawa

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is immigration, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. You share your situation and goals.

  3. Documents are collected and the application is prepared.
  4. The application is submitted and you receive updates.
  5. If there is a refusal, they advise on next steps.
