Our Services

We offer a wide range of immigration services to help individuals and families achieve their goals.

We also help individuals and families work temporarily in Canada through programs such as NAFTA and other programs.

For those looking to come to the United States, we can assist with obtaining a range of nonimmigrant visas, including H-1Bs for professional workers, and TN (NAFTA) visas for Canadian and Mexican professionals.

In addition to our work with individuals and families, we also work with businesses to obtain the right work permits quickly for their foreign workers. Our lawyers are experienced in handling a wide range of immigration cases, from simple to complex, and are dedicated to providing exceptional service and results.

Canada Immigration

Canada offers many opportunities for individuals and families to live, work, and study in a prosperous country with excellent schools, social services, and universal health care. We help people work temporarily in Canada through NAFTA and other programs, and we also assist individuals and families with immigrating to Canada as skilled workers through the Express Entry program, and through spousal sponsorship.

For individuals with Canadian roots, we can help them explore their options for Canadian citizenship and residency. Whether you have a parent born in Canada or have lived in Canada for a certain period of time, we can help you understand your eligibility for Canadian citizenship and residency.

U.S. Immigration

The United States offers many opportunities for individuals and families to live, work, and study in a country with a rich history, diverse culture, and excellent educational institutions. We help people obtain nonimmigrant visas for business, tourism, education, and other purposes, and we also assist individuals and families with obtaining U.S. Green Cards based on employment and on marriage.

We understand that the U.S. immigration system can be complex and challenging, which is why we offer expert guidance and representation to help individuals and families navigate the process. Whether you are looking to work, study, or live in the United States, we can help you achieve your goals.

Waivers and Solutions

In addition to our work with individuals and families, we also offer solutions for individuals who face challenges when trying to enter Canada or the United States. For individuals with criminal convictions, we can help them obtain waivers or find alternative pathways to residency.

For individuals who have lost the H-1B lottery or are stuck in immigration limbo, we can offer alternative pathways to residency, including options in Canada. And for individuals who are facing challenges related to U.S. citizenship, such as dual citizenship or renunciation, we can offer expert guidance and representation.
