Immigration Law

The immigration process in Canada is frequently changing and evolving making it essential for companies and individuals to have up-to-date and knowledgeable guidance through this complex system.

With decades of experience, our team includes immigration lawyers, paralegals, and clerks. At McLennan Ross, our clients can always expect high-quality, straightforward legal advice, and cost-effective service to help them through the intricacies of Canadian immigration law and policy. Our use of innovative software and data entry systems allow us to be streamlined and prepare applications accurately and efficiently.

Tailored immigration strategies for businesses.

Crossing borders seamlessly is necessary for companies to compete in a global economy. Our lawyers regularly assist employers with expansion into Canada.

It can be an intricate system for businesses to navigate, with the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and International Mobility Program changing often and sometimes without notice. At McLennan Ross, we pride ourselves on our proactive approach as we constantly review legislative and policy changes to ensure that obstacles are identified early.

We regularly respond to matters involving labour strategies, Labour Market Impact Assessment applications, transition plans, applications under trade agreements, and employer compliance reviews and inspections. In addition, our lawyers provide staff training and help companies develop in-house plans and procedures.

Committed to providing the best client service, our immigration team works closely with other lawyers in the firm, drawing on skills and experience in the areas of tax, business, finance, labour and employment, corporate commercial, real estate, and intellectual property law.

Providing guidance. Reuniting families.

In addition to employers, we assist individuals with immigration matters, including the transition to permanent residence, citizenship, and the reunification of families. Our lawyers understand the importance of families being together and each year, we are pleased to help dozens of families reunite in Canada. With our skill and thoughtful guidance, we help parents and children as well as married, common-law, and about-to-be-married people through each step of the sponsorship process.

We work closely with our clients to determine eligibility and select the best available options. Whether our clients qualify under Express Entry or a Provincial Nominee Program, or need to do a bit more to become eligible, we provide sound legal advice so applications can be prepared correctly the first time.

We are there from the start to the solution.

At McLennan Ross, we take pride in our hands-on and responsive service. From our legal professionals to some of the best support staff in the business, we are a tight-knit team that ensures personalized attention through every step of the immigration process. We make sure our clients are kept fully informed throughout the duration of a case. By only accepting a limited number of cases each year, we ensure the exceptional service our clients deserve.

When challenges arise, our trusted immigration lawyers have years of experience assisting clients with cases before the Immigration Division, Immigration Appeal Division, Federal Court, and Federal Court of Appeal. With our solid track record in litigation, we are strong advocates in complex Immigration and Refugee Board hearings, Humanitarian & Compassionate applications, and Judicial Reviews.

We take the time and make the effort to understand every client, their business, and their background. From our first consultation, clients can expect strategic advice and a detailed assessment of their case. We make sure our clients leave with a good understanding of the legal issues involved and the options available for immigration solutions.
