London access, Canadian immigration focus

Visit our London office by appointment, or choose a phone or video consultation. See our London immigration page. We advise on Canadian immigration matters, subject to accepting your file. Provincial programs and proceedings are assessed case by case; serving clients across Canada does not mean every provincial program is within our scope.

Prepare for your consultation

Bring your immigration history, current documents, key dates and questions. Tell us when you book if you have a refusal, a hearing, a removal or a status deadline. Booking a consultation does not mean we are monitoring a filing deadline for you.

Consultation fees

30 minutes

$150 plus HST ($169.50). One clear question or a document review.

Book 30 minutes ›

60 minutes

$250 plus HST ($282.50). A full assessment of your options.

Book 60 minutes ›

Fees are in Canadian dollars and are paid at booking. Your paid consultation is a limited-scope legal engagement covering the consultation and any document review or written follow-up expressly included in your booking. It does not include further representation, filing applications, contacting third parties, or monitoring deadlines after that engagement ends. Further work requires a separate agreement with our firm.

A move to Canada often comes with a home purchase, a family matter or a will. We also practise real estate, family law and wills, so we can coordinate the work where it overlaps.
